Smaragdus tabulis

No other will travel through shadow with me,
only you, evergreen, ever sun, ever moon.

As it is up it is down
As it is inside it is out
So my heart explodes
You are the galaxy I see

the nature is pumping synapses
even the traffic lights
concrete and abstract
an elliptical metaphor

Increases and adds
as the Ravel's Bolero
Up, stronger and further
The light, reflexes and shine

All the flame of universe concentrated at the palm of your hand
With you I can stand the dark of the shades, the evil in the disease
And even if I drink the poisin it will transmute into the medicine
We go from Plato, through Socrates to Aristoteles and his verisimilitude
St. Augustine and his cure

whole evolution of the reasoning
eating from the knowledge tree
apple after apple
Till we finally meet


Smaragdus tabulis

(1) Verum sine mendacio, certum et verissimum:

(2) Quod est inferius est sicut quod est superius, et quod est superius est sicut quod est inferius, ad perpetranda miracula rei unius.

(3) Et sict omnes res fuerunt ab Uno, mediatione unius, sic omnes res natæ fuerunt ab hac una re, adaptatione.

(4) Pater ejus est Sol, mater ejus Luna;

portavit illud Ventus in ventre suo; nutrix ejus Terra est.

(5) Pater omnes Telesmi totius mundi est hic.

(6) Vis ejus integra est, si versa fuerit in Terram.

(7) Separabis terram ab igne, subtile a spisso, suaviter, cum magno ingenio.

(8) Ascendit a terra in cœlum, interumque descendit in terram et recipit vim superiorum et inferiorum.

(9) Sic habebis gloriam totius mundi.

(10) Ideo fugiet a te omnis obscuritas.

(11) Hic est totius fortitudinis fortitudo fortis: quis vincet omnem rem subtilem omnemque solidam penetrabit.

(12) Sic mundus creatus est.

(13) Hinc erunt adaptationes mirabiles quarum modus est hic.

(14) Itaque vocatus sum Hermes Trismegistus, habens tres partes philosophiæ totius mundi.

(15) Completum est quod dixi de Operatione Solis.
