Epode II
Years of studies, a bookworm,
the wisest exoskeleton
old fellow with spectacles
thin and with gray hair
the most modern of doctors
appears with an elixir in his hand:
“Need to purify the emotions
of the alive in light or in shadow
to the blue ocean’s depths
to the far corners of Mother Earth
appease the lost kiss and
the all-powerful fire.
Just one benevolent drop
to the sunrise and to the iceberg
to the purple dusk and to the mistral
four drops worthy to them all.”
Most modern exoskeleton
a doctor with potions
old fellow with spectacles
thin, and with gray hair
has the purifying potion.
