The world's great age begins anew
The world's great age begins anew
The world's great age begins anew again,
Gold The years are back;
The earth is like a snake, renewed,
Her old winter clothes have all been taken off:
The sky is smiling, religion and empire< /p>
It's like the remains of a lingering dream are flickering.
A more splendid Greece lets the mountain peaks
appear on quieter waves,
A new pheasant is rolling
< p> Its waves, beneath the morning star.Dunpi is more beautiful, with flowers blooming all over the place.
The Sikeli Islands guard the brighter sea. < /p>
Love, cry, and then die.
A new Ulysses is wandering,
For the sake of his hometown, he left Calypso again.
Why write the story of Troy again,
If the earth is just a dead painting!
Don't give freedom to people anymore
Joy, mixed with the anger of Rhea:
Even if there is a more mysterious Sphinx
Reveal the mystery of death to mankind.
Another Athens will rise and prosper,
She will give to distant generations -
Like the setting sun in the sky,
Leave behind the brilliance of her youth;
She will leave behind all the splendid things,
As long as the world can take it, heaven can give it.
/p>
Also better than their unconquered peers:
They do not want sacrifices of gold and blood,
But flowers and tears of faith.
Oh, stop it! Must hate and death be reversed?
Do humans have to fight to the death?
Stop it! Don't drink this sweet cup of prophecy down to the bitter dregs at the bottom.
The world is tired of the past,
May it finally die, or rest in peace.
