Chapter 220:
The Whole Earth Lieth Fallow
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. VERILY do I come unto you, making known my purposes; verily
do I present myself, that my words may find utterance and the
nations know deliverance.
2. For now they do groan as in a great travail, they make
mock by night of those things that are godly, they come out in
the days and their laughter hath a shrillness.
3. It is meet that I come unto them, to take the shrillness from
their laughter, to give them a humor that proclaimeth mirth
joyously.
4. Beloved, hear mine utterance.
5. Ye have been faithful in proclaiming little victories; I give
you your trumpets that ye may open their silver throats to
aeons.
6. Behold each trumpet hath its larynx and each silver bell its
hammer.
7. Those come unto you who say, Let us make music, for
verily it pleaseth us, or, Make ye music unto us that we may be
pleased with that which is the resonance.
8. I say they shall make it; ye shall give it unto them. But is it
for a pleasure? Verily I say it is for an ecstasy, beloved. The
wild kine shall hear it and shall give a sweet mimicry; the whole
earth shall know it, and that I am its essence.
9. Be ye not deceived, beloved. The time cometh shortly
when men shall know my presence.
10. Are there those amongst you who have their petulance for
action? And pray, what is Action?
11. Is it not desire that the Father's works be manifest, that
they enter with a motion, that they deliver of an unction? Can
we blame men for that?
12. I tell you that the whole earth lieth fallow; it giveth birth
joyously to that which is its increase; it maketh a glad song;
it singeth a high anthem.
13. Behold that the whole world is delivered of child; the babe
shall know tumult yet victories shall pursue it; they shall cuddle
it tempestuously yet their strong arms shall hold tenderness.
14. Behold we have come unto the shepherd and his sheep
flock; we have come unto the righteous, we have come unto
the sorrowing; we have made a clean bed for those who
walk cleanly; we have raised up no offal for those who have
nostrils.
15. We have reached and bended down a golden bough;
we have scattered its fruits, the ground is yellow with them.
16. These things have we done, that mankind might be joyous,
that his increase might be known of him, that cymbals, verily
clarinets, should raise a paean unto his ennoblement.
17. Jest not at tiny griefs, beloved. I say, Jest not at all
that Rancor hath its garment and weareth it as the whore
her nudity.
18. The times shall come when the rancor shall be stilled; the
bright fires of beacons shall light every landscape; men shall
cry joyously, We are summoned to deliverance! the Prince
cometh yonder! yonder see His chariots! . . .
19. They shall cry unto their wives, and their parents and their
children, and their laborers shall hear them.
20. The throng shall be mighty that runneth forward shouting.
21. Have I not told you that it cometh as a morning, that it
arriveth as a password uttered lip to lip?
22. Why therefore be ye troubled that the action hath its
lingering? the times, I say, are fallow, they are not of common
clay, their righteousness hath rigor.
23. They say unto the nations: Your essence is our fullness,
accept us for that which reapeth you a harvest.
24. For hath it not been told you that even as the mother-hen
gathereth in her chickens as the fell hawk flieth, so shall the
sons of earth have a performance of that which is their destiny,
yet harmeth them not?
25. I say, Be of cheer!
26. The times have a wrath, they are wroth with heavy harvest;
the godlike know a sorrowing; the tumult rideth over them; the
matters of earth have a manifest action but they give man no
surcease from the grievance in his spirit.
27. Should we be as little nurses, running with a poultice? who
saith unto us truly, Verily are ye jackanapes in that ye give us
no stairway from disaster?
28. I tell you the wounds of the times know a bleeding, but the
righteous surgeon seeth it and his heart is not troubled.
29. He knoweth the bleeding hath a manifest excellence; it
cleanseth the wound that is foul with excrement.
30. What of the thought that it spotteth the garments? are
garments more than souls? conserve yourselves, beloved, for
that which cometh when that wound hath been purged, when
the body is whole, when strength hath returned to it.
31. Waste ye not the substance of your thoughts in harvests
that are little, but gather around you the reapers with their
baskets, that they glean a great field of the wheat stalks of
felled doubtings.
32. Princely emolument cometh unto him who knoweth his
urge and giveth it pure preference, but he who goeth forth to
gather before the wheat hath come to its ripeness, maketh a
hay which sickeneth his asses.
