Desculpem não traduzir (a poesia não se traduz)
| What is that sound high in the air | |
| Murmur of maternal lamentation | |
| Who are those hooded hordes swarming | |
| Over endless plains, stumbling in cracked earth | |
| Ringed by the flat horizon only | |
| What is the city over the mountains | |
| Cracks and reforms and bursts in the violet air | |
| Falling towers | |
| Jerusalem Athens Alexandria | |
| Vienna London | |
| Unreal |
