There he is now, look:
There is no interrogation in his eyes
Or in the hands, quiet over the horse’s neck,
And the eyes watchful, waiting, perceiving indifferent.
O hidden under the dover’s wing, hidden in the turtle’s breast....”

It is what it is as I am what I am:
And in perceiving this I best perceive myself
And you.”
