The Owl s Nest Hieronymus Bosch (1450-1516)

TETRAGRAMMATON

1
Beyond the veil of mystery lies another secret -
The mystical tetragrammaton
Attracts for a completely valid reason.
It captivates with its very essence.
Gnostics have a mysterious cave,
Golden vaults of Kabbalah.
But what if faith is impossible?
If life is concrete, angles,
Walls of darkness, driftwood in the dawn?
A wise man has calculated a resounding chord.
He nourished his life with arduous care,
And accomplished all labors.
The power of the sages discovery will crush you.
You can only have a little bit.
The beggar is happy, the sun praises him with song,
And he does not claim copper for God.

Autumn leaves swirl and twist,
Forming the most complex text.
No one can calculate such a code,
A person whose best gesture
Is the excision of desires -
Thinks about the fate of the soul.
The tetragrammaton of glimmerings,
Of heaven, miraculous boundaries...

3
A study filled with so many books,
Their sum is like the essence... but what if
Its false? Then the path
Has deceived you, and your circle
Turns out to be black – a pain.
Then you will sound like a hero,
Rejecting the multi-faceted nature
Of life, so that it may shine – ROLE.

4
Watering flowers from a hose in the dacha -
A few phloxes, lilies are blooming.
You equate the silence of the day with luck,
Performing a monotonous and quiet labor.
Without daring, can life
Fill the honeycomb of consciousness with honey? Or what?
That there is no freedom in life,
You understood long ago. So dont waste words.

There is a word of words, it itself shimmers
With celestial beauty, within it are all laws.
But a golden brain – unlikely that it will understand,
How to pronounce it, since it is not about our honor.

So just water the flowers in the dacha,
Fix the fence, as it has peeled off.
And dont even dream of exceeding limits -
You will be burned out by an empty dream.

5
The wings of angels are whiter than snow -
Such whiteness is impossible to imagine.
I would like to grasp the knot of sound, the code,
So that God may be praised more accurately.
Praise – as you can, praise with withdrawal
From anger and pride, with a clever line.
Fear of death will then disappear.
However, everyone dies alone.

6
Semantic ships sail
For the sake of understanding sharp truths.
A thick volume is sufficiently well-worn,
I performed – or it seemed to me – labor.

How many steps you do not overcome,
Ahead there will still be a lot.

You have not crossed the boundary – so do not regret
The past – let it pass quickly.

Experience is dissolved in every morsel
Of life, extract it – and it will become salt.
And no need to calculate the tetragrammaton,
Although calculation is tempting.
