The Three Silences of Molinos Annotated

Three Silences there are: the first of speech,
&nbsp The second of desire, the third of thought;
&nbsp This is the lore a Spanish monk, distraught
&nbsp With dreams and visions, was the first to teach.
These Silences, commingling each with each,
&nbsp Made up the perfect Silence, that he sought
&nbsp And prayed for, and wherein at times he caught
&nbsp Mysterious sounds from realms beyond our reach.
O thou, whose daily life anticipates
&nbsp The life to come, and in whose thought and word
&nbsp The spiritual world preponderates.
Hermit of Amesbury! thou too hast heard
&nbsp Voices and melodies from beyond the gates,
&nbsp And speakest only when thy soul is stirred!
