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.]
