Another . . .

. . . room

Writing this letter
To tell you how much
That I think of you

Every light,
Every glimmer
And sparkle
Reminds me of you

In spectacular sunsets,
At the dusk of the day
Or the glorious morning
As the mist melts away
There your smile is

All your movements
Are poetry,
Gracefully pleasant to see
When combined with your wit
One is entertained consistently
How I wish you were,
Right now, here with me,
But wait . . .

Sometimes I'm so overwhelmingly
Consumed by these thoughts
And I wish I could hold you
So badly, so close
That I fail to remember
An obvious fact
You're not far, far away
Over land, over sea,
But just footsteps from me
In the very next room

What do you think?

Celebration . . .

(from Joseph and His Brothers by Thomas Mann, translation by John E. Woods)
". . . the official swelling of the Nile was celebrated in all the land of Egypt, and most especially in Nowet-Amun, Wase of the Hundred Gates, with a gala solemnity that one can imagine only if one keeps in mind our own greatest and most tumultuous national, popular, and patriotic holidays.  The entire city was out and about from earliest morning on, and the huge population - far exceeding a hundred thousand, as we know - was vastly increased by swarms of country folk from both upriver and down, who streamed in through the gates to join in the celebration of Amun's great day in the city where the imperial god resided, and who now mixed with the city people to hop on one leg and gaze with mouths agape at glorious and majestic spectacles presented by the state to an overtaxed and overworked peasantry in compensation for a whole year's gray penury and as a means of strengthening them in their patriotism for the drudgery of the year now dawning.  As part of a great sweating crowd, their noses filled with the aroma of burning fat and mountains of flowers, they thronged temples provisioned for the holiday with immense quantities of food and drink and filled those radiantly colorful forecourts plastered with alabaster, covered by awnings and tents, an echoing with pious hymns, where they could stuff their bellies for once at the expense of the god - or actually, of those higher powers who oppressed and swindled them all the rest of the year, but today smiled upon with prodigal beneficence - and thus, against their better judgment, be lulled in the belief that it would always be so, that with this turning point of celebration and delight, the golden age of free beer and roasted goose had dawned the they would never again be visited by scribes demanding payment and accompanied by Nubians armed with bundled rods of palm . . .
