Reluctant prophet

I have always seemed to myself
A man entirely of the earth,
Closed as closed could be to sensing beyond the senses.

Suddenly I am full of knowing dreams,
Counsel without provenance
And difficult intuitions.

My news from heaven
Is that I shall pass from purgatory to hell
In quest of you;

That if, and only if, I win you to me,
I shall live completely,
Die complete.
