Triptych Translations:
Threnody
When death takes off the mask, (we) will know one another,
Though diverse liveries (we) wear here make us strangers.
--William Penn (1644-1718)
from Some Fruits of Solitude in Reflection and Maxims (1682)
Tremblest thou when my face appears to thee?
Wherefore thy dreadful fears?
Be easy, friend; 'tis thy truest gain to be far away from the sons of men.
I offer a couch to give ease:
Shall dreamless slumber so much displease?
--Muhammad Rajib Al-Bayoumi (dates unknown)
from Death Speaks, trans. by Arthur Arberry (1950)
To see a World in a Grain of Sand,
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.
--William Blake (1757-1827)
from Auguries of Innocence (1808)
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for (people) to dwell together in unity.
--Psalm 133, King James Version (1611)
