“It’s a bit like a paradise of hell”

     

Francis Alÿs - Untitled, 2008-2010

 

If you are out walking at this hour

and in this place

You must want something

And that something I am sure I may help you with

Because I was here on this spot long before you came by

And will be here long after you’ve gone

Not even the savage grapplings of man and beast that occur at this hour

scare me away

And that’s because I’ve got what those who pass by here want

Which is like carrying a weight you have to unload

on whoever does pass

Be they man or beast

CONDUCTUS AUDI, PONTUS; AUDI, TELLUS

HEAR, SEA; HEAR, LAND;

HEAR, BELT OF THE GREAT OCEAN.

HEAR, MAN, HEAR, EVERYTHING

THAT LIVES BENEATH THE SUN

HE IS NEAR – LET HIM COME.

BEHOLD, IT IS NOW THE DAY, THAT DAY,

THE HATEFUL DAY, THE BITTER DAY,

ON WHICH THE HEAVENS WILL FLEE AWAY, THE SUN WILL TURN RED,

THE MOON WILL FLASH LIKE LIGHTNING, THE STARS WILL FALL ON THE EARTH.

ALAS, UNHAPPY ONE, ALAS, UNHAPPY ONE, ALAS!

From ‘Apokalypsis’, Tiburtina Ensemble & David Dorůžka Trio
