Ars Memorativa

You built all memories on a framework
Of the zodiac and other known structures
Every thought was linked to a special picture
You stigmatized their keenness and location
On a deep and shrouded level, remembering, controlling
Was the way to higher knowledge

In the nature you saw the outlines of an universal intelligence
Every process a reflecting mirror, symbols meant to trigger
The shadow of the ideas in the maze of recollection
A vortex of information reigned inside
And found its way
Through the labyrinth of the mind
With self-hypnosis you put it in
A dynamic pattern
In the labyrinth of the mind

No physical laws were rooted in your system
Everything was forces of thoughts and sensations
Which is streaming through man

Mist and rain just a condition of unawareness
And volcanoes a state of rage

A prophet in cosmology, like Copernicus
You saw the stars as suns
And a warrior who fought with intellectual swords
With arrow-sharp words

In the nature you saw the outlines of an universal intelligence
Every process a reflecting mirror, symbols meant to trigger
The shadow of the ideas in the maze of recollection
A vortex of information reigned inside
And found its way
Through the labyrinth of the mind
With self-hypnosis you put it in
A dynamic pattern
In the labyrinth of the mind
