As an aside, that’s more of a much later creative reinterpretation of the poem. Since it’s your favorite, you might be interested in knowing a more direct translation of the original poem:
—
Beyond heresy and faith, there's another place,
we yearn for what's in the midst of that desert plain.
When the gnostic arrives there, he prostrates his face,
there's no heresy, faith, or place in that domain.
—
The originals are definitely worth checking out, and to be honest (imho) make those later reinterpretations look a little suspect because they are just so wildly different.
