Saturn -

Within crystal of Saturn round the Land

Golden ladder I saw

Ascending so high up, much sparkling

That my eye pursued it not

In front of me, among the many souls

One stops and I spoke to him

«The gentle symphony of Paradise

Why here I cannot hear?»

Here’s golden ladder enlightened by the sun

Binds the celestial and earthly, the two worlds

If thou, as I do

Couldst behold the love

Which burns among us here

Thy thoughts would be expressed

But lest, by waiting, thou delay

Ora i pastori moderni vogliono servi che li sorreggano

Da ambo i lati e che li trasportino, tanto sono pesanti

E che li alzino da dietro

Down steps

Blazing lights here

Like vortex

Beautiful now

They stop

Screaming loudly

No ear

Can hear the sound

Oppresso di stupore, a la mia guida

Mi volsi, come parvol che ricorre

Sempre colà dove più si confida

E quella, come madre che soccorre

Sùbito al figlio palido e anelo

Con la sua voce, che ‘l suol ben disporre

Mi disse:

«Do you know you are in heaven?

And know that all

II holy here?

And of good zeal cometh all done here?»
