Vasile Voiculescu 1884 – 1963
“For fifty years, of stones made, and of clay
In every step, a start without delay.
And for the heat in which I’m anguished, pained
The holy unction from my forehead’s drained.
Rise up you shady cedar, and sit down
On afternoons of sweltering renown
With whisper pure, you throw over the deep
Your crown of night, and miracles to keep
Not for a rest. The opposite. For me,
I wish an angel as my enemy,
For you are weaker, worthless, never brave
The more you’re adversary is a knave.
I’d rather in your adumbration bustle,
To suck the force from him with whom I tussle.
My arm, rebellious, coils round him,
To feel the heaven’s weight, filled to the brim.
For me, as if on purpose you allow,
To fight this planet’s refuse until now.
Though there’s this sign that I forever try
To be disciple of the fights on high:
I’ve fifty stone-slabs, glowing without falter.
Completing for your glory holy altar.”
