The age of heroes will be gone,

you, bird, singing day after day, will have your time.

The time will ripen when humans are human to humans.

How enchanted I will be with my friends’ dialects.

After ten thousand years or so,

or more,

when I have been utterly, utterly abolished

will a time come when all wars die?

Ah, let my eyes peer from the skulls on that day!

Mahabharata: ancient Indian war epic.

Book of Odes: songs of everyday life on the riverside of the Yellow River written in ancient China.

Chu Ci: shaman songs from around the Yangtze in ancient China. [Tr.]
