The Great Arts
 
      We,
the great arts,
bow down today
to him,
who gave us back
our home.

Like the light
separate from the sun,
we wandered about
separate from bliss –
over the centuries,
over the millenia –
separating us from each other,
since we were homeless.


This is our eternal fate,
as wherever we appear,
man is lifeless,
and wherever he is without life,
there we appear.

Since today man
expresses the aimless aim,
we happily swing
in our beloved mother’s lap,
in the divine omnipotence,

and we beg
that our names are forgotten.
