“Late I am , and for the crushing hour I brood,
Sampson without eyes, slowly propelling my destiny’s wheel.
The world’s old axle, into my bosom screwed,
Unborn child, abandoned on dry seas, in a fisherman’s creel.
Weeping alone, beside the post of this nefarious temple
Of all the world’s gods, vacuous, atheist, slight,
Under shattered arches I shall crush them all,
Worshipers and dagons, sorry sight.
As for my plight, the line is drawn and nothing’s at stake.
My new sideburns, you take!
I don’t deserve new eyes, as mine I have melted on rubble
Only Your name I still have, as for mine I don’t trouble,
For Your rays I’ll await, under ruins, which shall be my hearse.
Avenge me, my Lord, with this kamikaze verse.”
(from Testament – Anthology of Romanian Verse, bilingual edition English/Romanian, Daniel Ionita, Minerva -2012)
