Different ways of Beauty





Bruma densa que se eleva en la oquedad del vientre y el corazón.


RSB



I carry a torch in one hand
And a bucket of water in the other;
With these things I am going to set fire to Heaven
And put out the flames of Hell,
So that voyagers to God can rip the veils
And see the real goal.

---------

If I adore you out of fear of Hell, burn me in Hell!
If I adore you out of desire of Paradise,
Lock me out of Paradise.

But if I adore you for Yourself alone,
Do not deny to me Your eternal beauty

(Traducido por Charles Upton)


Permanece en la puerta si anhelas la belleza,
Abandona el sueño si quieres entrar.
