Kontemplacija, Ivan Meštrović
In me you carved yourself.
How betrayed you must have felt to have discovered,
and to have been discovered by,
this separate stranger.
Had this child become an adversary?
Had she become another woman?
Even your memory is extravagant.
You were so wonderfully exaggerated,
at once terminally alien and infinitely joined.
Did that spirit transcend you?
Does it live with me now?
You lived in search of one more chance.
Was I that opportunity?
