:38:01
I lost all count of time.
:38:04
I had no idea whether
it was late or early.
:38:08
A change came about my work,
which gave me intense satisfaction.
:38:12
When I forgot what I was doing
and mowed without effort,
:38:16
My line was almost
as smooth and good as Titus'.
:38:22
More and more often now
came those moments of oblivion.
:38:26
When it was not my arms
which swung the scythe,
:38:30
the scythe seemed to mow
by itself.
:38:33
Some external force
seemed to propel me on,
:38:38
as though by magic...
:38:41
the work did itself
regularly and carefully.
:38:47
These were the most
blessed moments.
