Det gi ga, har vi---Det vi brukte, hadde vi---Det vi etterlot oss, mistet vi... What we give, we have---What we used, we had---What we had, we lost---Was wir geben, wir haben --- Was wir haben, wir hatten - was wir hatten, wir haben verloren---Ce que nous donnons, nous avons --- Ce que nous avons utilisé, nous avions --- Ce que nous avions, nous avons perdu --- Lo que damos, tenemos --- Lo que usamos, teníamos --- Lo que teníamos, perdimos ---

That happened in the great silence
when grass was born,
when light had just detached itself
and created the vermilion and the statues,
then
in the great solitude
a howl began,
something rolled crying,
the shadows half-opened,
rising alone
as if the planets sobbed
and then the echo
rolled,
tumbling and tumbling
until what was born was silent.

But stone preserved the memory...

It guarded the opened snout of the shadows,
the trembling sword of the howl,
and there is in the stone an animal without name
that still howls without voice toward the emptiness.
