Excerpt from the original:
Get up for my prayers, poet!
Please tell them that what they are waiting for is coming. I crossed the dew and the last star.
I come from the east, from the rough sea, and I want to bring light to the world and warmth to mankind.
Please tell my news to those human beings whose eyes are burning with desire and those distant cities and villages immersed in suffering through your honest mouth.
