Signs of destiny

by Hur1

 

 

The signs of destiny,

The moving hand writes

and having written, moves on:

nor all your devotion nor intellectual wit

shall lure it back to cancel half a line,

Nor all your tears wash out a word of it.

What was written, came from the unmanifested

Though we tried on the surface and worried within.

 

**

 

And lately, by the open tavern door,

Came stealing through the dusk an Angel Shape,

Bearing a vessel on her shoulder; and

She offered me taste of it;

and it was--the wine of annihilation!

 

**

 

One Moment in Annihilation's Waste,

One moment, of the Well of Life to taste--

The Stars are setting, and the Caravan

Starts for the dawn of Nothing--Oh, make no haste!

 

 

-Omar Khayyam

(based mostly on the fitzgerald rendition, reinterpreted slightly by

hur guler)
