Starlight and Non-Being

Starlight asked Non-Being: "Master, are you? Or
are you not?"
Since he received no answer whatever, Starlight
set himself to watch for Non-Being, He waited to see
if Non-Being would put up an appearance.
He kept his gaze fixed on the deep Void, hoping to
catch a glimpse of Non-Being.
All day long he looked, and he saw nothing. He lis-
tened, but heard nothing. He reached out to grasp,
and grasped nothing.
Then Starlight exclaimed at last: "This is IT!"

"This is the furthest yet! Who can reach it?
I can comprehend the absence of Being
But who can comprehend the absence of
Nothing?
If now, on top of all this, Non-Being IS,
Who can comprehend it?"
