名人诗歌|CHANTING THE SQUARE DEIFIC（一）

Chanting the square deific， out of the One advancing， out of

the sides，

Out of the old and new， out of the square entirely^{1 pine，}

Solid， four-sided， （all the sides needed，） from this side Jehovah

am I，

Old Brahm I， and I Saturnius am；

Not Time affects me - I am Time， old， modern as any，

Unpersuadable， relentless^{2， executing righteous judgments3，}

As the Earth， the Father， the brown old Kronos， with laws，

Aged^{4 beyond computation， yet ever new， ever with those}

mighty^{5 laws rolling，}

Relentless I forgive no man - whoever sins dies - I will have

that man's life；

Therefore let none expect mercy - have the seasons， gravitation，

the appointed days， mercy？ no more have I，

But as the seasons and gravitation， and as all the appointed

days that forgive not，

I dispense^{6 from this side judgments inexorable without the}

least remorse^7.
