1
All is cold hard beauty, pain is never done
2
And we remain clothed in space
3
Forming from space
4
Space we come and return
5
And I saw within the mystery of god
6
In the midst of the southern breezes
7
A wondrously beautiful image
8
It had a human form and it's countenance was of such beauty
9
That I could have more easily gazed at the sun
10
Than in that face
11
For a broad golden ring circled it's head
12
In this ring above the face there appeared a second countenance
13
Like that of an elderly man
14
It's chin and beard resting on the crown of her first face
15
And on both sides of the figure a wing grew out of the shoulders
16
The wings rose above the face and were joined there
17
Then at the top part of the wing on the curve appeared an eagle's head
18
It's eyes were like fire and in them the brilliance of angels streamed forth from the mirror
19
On the part of the left wing's curve there was soothed a human head
20
Which shone like the gleaming of the stars
21
Both faces were turned towards the east
22
And from the shoulders of the figure a wing extended to it's knees
23
The figure was wrapped in a garment that shone like the sun
24
It's hands carried the lamb which shone like a brilliant day
25
The figure's feet trod upon a monster of black
26
A serpent had fastened it's teeth into it
27
And it's body was wound around the wound
28
It's tail extended to the left
29
It said "I am the highest in fiery power
30
I have kindled every spark of life
31
I am it, nothing that is deadly
32
I decided on all reality
33
With my wings I fly above this little world
34
With wisdom have I put the universe in order
35
I am the fiery life of essence
36
I am a flame beyond the beauty even of the meadows
37
It is I who gleam in the waters
38
It is I that burn in the sun
39
It is I that burn in the moon
40
It is I that burn in the stars
41
With every breeze as with invisible life that contains everything
42
It is I that awaken every thing to life
43
The air lives by turning green and being in bloom
44
And the waters flow as if they were alive
45
The sun lives in it's light and the moon is enkindled
46
After it's disappearance once again by the light
47
Of the sun so that the moon is again revived
48
The stars too give the light with their beaming
49
I have established pillars that bear the entire globe
50
In the same way too the body envelopes the soul
51
And maintains it so that the soul will never blow away"
52
And all is cold hard beauty, pain is never done
53
Never done
