Religion
Rhymed Distich 6: Transparent appears the radiant air
Translated by Edgar Alfred Bowring (1853) · From God, Soul, and World
Religion
TRANSPARENT appears the radiant air,
Though steel and stone in its breast it may bear;
At length they'll meet with fiery power,
And metal and stones on the earth will shower.
