The
Slope
A
shared human lineage brings us together
and
similar dreams connect us.
You
suffer, you love, you despise, and your brow
reflects
the thought that unites us.
On
Gaia we walk through our days,
of
the centuries, lightning flashing,
with
their perennial dramas and joys,
with
blind, mendacious passions.
But
we still have a long way to go! A long way for us!
This
slope so slow, the climb so hard
as
it rises, goes higher and exalts us!
So
high and sublime! So upward!
It
leads to the highest place, right to the centre,
the
very being. No more lives without meaning!
So
deep into abstractions does it enter,
towards
hasty understanding.
And
still so far to go! Isn't it, Companions?
How
far away peace is! So many miseries!
What
if we were to go in union?
New
blood would surge through the arteries!
