Book of Saphah

Chapter 1

Chapter 2
1

Saphah said: I am to perish.

2

I, being SAPHAH, am of the perishable.

3

I am of the earth’s perishable history.

4

I am the dying history, not dead; the legends; the skeleton of a one-time giant.

5

In my youth I was science and philosophy; religion.

6

I reach into all the nations of the earth; distance is nothing with me.

7

I was as a tree of life in time long past; the devotedly loved SON OF LIGHT.

8

The fruit I bore fed all the inhabitants of the earth. But the flesh of the fruit has perished; yet the seed still lives.

9

My soul is in languages, in rocks and ruined walls; in fallen temples and buried cities. These are the remnants of my corporeal body.

10

In these my last days, my remnants that were once the living members of my body, shall come forth and speak their parting words to the new- born KOSMON.

11

Hear these words, my sons and daughters; all you who search for, but do not find, the light of ages past.

12

I am the book of the past; of the perishable corporeal world. Ancient Languages Section Tree of Language Chapter 1 Language Tree
