Chapter 12 12
...Sin and Death Haste
Follow in his footsteps, it was the will of heaven,
Follow him to pave a wide and level road,
On this dark abyss, its seething chasm
Docilely bear this incredible long bridge,
Straight from hell to this frail world
The far planet; where the evil spirits
can come and go at will, come and go
To tempt or punish people, it's only God to them
For extra mercy, send good angels to guard.
Feel your ever-burning lights, but you
Did not return to my eye sockets, my eyeballs rolled,
Didn't see your dazzling light, couldn't see the dawn;
So I contemplated, harmonious poems
born spontaneously; like a sleepless nightingale
Sing in the dark, hide in the shadows
Tweet her melodious nocturne.That's it, one year
Four seasons to return!Lest I never turn back
The day, the twilight dawns kindly,
Or the scene of blooming spring flowers, or the roses of early summer,
Or herds of cattle and sheep, or the holy countenance of men;
But it's just a cloud and mist, endless darkness
Wrap me up, the joys of the world
I miss all, the books of wisdom and sagacity
It seemed so empty,
The magical power of good fortune is all gone to me,
The only door to knowledge is firmly shut.
O Light of Heaven, you should especially
Illuminate my heart, make my heart full
Shine brightly; put eyes there
Let all the mist be cleared away, and I can
See and talk about things that are invisible to the naked eye.
