“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)
