The golden meanof the dark wayfarer's way betweenblack Scylla and white Charybdis, Ihave traveled; subdued ifs in the way;from vile-canaille balconies and nigger heavens, seenday beasts and night beasts of preyin the disemboweling pits ofEurope and America,in the death-worming bowels ofAsia and Africa;and, although a Dumb Ox (like young Aquinas), Ihave not forgotthe rainbows and the olive leaves against the orient sky.
