| [00:02.92] |
All is cold hard beauty, |
| [00:09.14] |
pain is never done |
| [00:32.63] |
And we remain clothed in space |
| [00:43.97] |
Forming from space |
| [00:53.57] |
Space we come and return |
| [01:01.30] |
And I saw within the mystery of god |
| [01:16.23] |
In the midst of the southern breezes |
| [01:23.05] |
A wondrously beautiful image |
| [01:32.32] |
It had a human form |
| [01:38.02] |
and it's countenance was of such beauty |
| [01:45.06] |
That I could have more easily gazed at the sun |
| [01:55.38] |
Than in that face |
| [02:00.65] |
For a broad golden ring circled it's head |
| [02:08.04] |
In this ring above the face there |
| [02:13.87] |
appeared a second countenance |
| [02:22.93] |
Like that of an elderly man |
| [02:30.61] |
It's chin and beard resting on the crown |
| [02:40.55] |
of her first face |
| [02:45.58] |
And on both sides of the figure a wing |
| [02:53.19] |
grew out of the shoulders |
| [03:01.47] |
The wings rose above the face |
| [03:10.28] |
and were joined there |
| [03:15.70] |
Then at the top part of the wing |
| [03:21.89] |
on the curve appeared an eagle's head |
| [03:30.38] |
Its eyes were like fire and in them the brilliance of angels |
| [03:38.13] |
streamed forth from the mirror |
| [03:46.02] |
On the part of the left wing's curve |
| [03:52.99] |
there was soothed a human head |
| [04:00.51] |
Which shone like the gleaming of the stars |
| [04:08.46] |
Both faces were turned towards the east |
| [04:16.04] |
And from the shoulders of the figure |
| [04:21.85] |
a wing extended to its knees |
| [04:31.29] |
The figure was wrapped in a garment |
| [04:34.28] |
that shone like the sun |
| [04:45.33] |
Its hands carried the lamb |
| [04:52.76] |
which shone like a brilliant day |
| [05:00.28] |
The figure's feet trod upon a monster of black |
| [05:06.63] |
A serpent had fastened its teeth into it |
| [05:15.04] |
And its body was wound around the wound |
| [05:22.81] |
Its tail extended to the left |
| [05:28.91] |
It said "I am the highest in fiery power |
| [05:36.78] |
I have kindled every spark of life |
| [05:45.60] |
I am it, nothing that is deadly |
| [05:51.82] |
I decided on all reality |
| [06:00.43] |
With my wings I fly above this little world |
| [06:15.12] |
With wisdom have I put the universe in order |
| [06:21.78] |
I am the fiery life of essence |
| [06:29.79] |
I am a flame beyond the beauty even of the meadows |
| [06:45.29] |
It is I who gleam in the waters |
| [06:52.53] |
It is I that burn in the sun |
| [07:00.83] |
It is I that burn in the moon |
| [07:07.69] |
It is I that burn in the stars |
| [07:15.58] |
With every breeze as with invisible life |
| [07:22.74] |
that contains everything |
| [07:29.83] |
It is I that awaken every thing to life |
| [07:37.77] |
The air lives by turning green and being in bloom |
| [07:59.67] |
And the waters flow as if they were alive |
| [08:05.57] |
The sun lives in it's light |
| [08:08.70] |
and the moon is enkindled |
| [08:14.32] |
After it's disappearance once again by the light |
| [08:20.28] |
Of the sun so that the moon is again revived |
| [08:29.58] |
The stars too give the light with their beaming |
| [08:35.46] |
I have established pillars that bear the entire globe |
| [08:45.15] |
In the same way too the body envelopes the soul |
| [08:51.06] |
And maintains it so that the soul will never blow away" |
| [09:00.58] |
And all is cold hard beauty, |
| [09:07.06] |
pain is never done |
| [09:25.16] |
Never done |
| [09:36.51] |
