<strong>Cause</strong>, principle and unity and gloomy mantle may come to an end, allowing brilliant Titan, parent of the divine Muses, adorned with his family and surrounded by his everlasting court, to banish the nocturnal torches and brighten the world with a new day, surging forth again with his triumphant chariot from the vermilion bosom of this graceful Aurora. Farewell GIORDANO NOLANO AL PRINCIPI DE L’UNIVERSO Lethaea undantem retinens ab origine campum emigret, o Titan, et petat astra, precor. Errantes stellae, spectate procedere in orbem me geminum, si vos hoc reserastis iter. Dent geminas somni portas laxarier usque, vestrae per vacuum me properante vices: obductum tenuitque diu quod tempus avarum, mi liceat densis promere de tenebris. Ad partum properare tuum, mens aegra, quid obstat, seclo haec indigno sint tribuenda licet? Umbrarum fluctu terras mergente, cacumen adtolle in clarum, noster Olimpe, Iovem. [from Giordano the Nolan to the <strong>Principle</strong>s of the Universe That the tenebrous Earth which, from the beginning, has cleaved to the wavy expanse of the waters, may leave its seat and fly towards the heavenly orbs, I beg you, O Sun. And you, wandering stars, behold me as I proceed towards the twofold heaven, since it is you who have opened this path to me. May your movements open before me, as I rush through the spaces, the doors of sleep: that which miserly time has kept long hidden, may it be allowed me to draw into the light out of the dense gloom. What prevents you, O suffering spirit, from hastening to give birth to your truth, though you bequeath it to an unworthy age? Though the flow of shadows submerges the Earth, you, my Olympus, make shine your peak in the clear heavens.] AL PROPRIO SPIRITO Mons, licet innixum tellus radicibus altis te capiat, tendi vertice in astra vales. 12
Prefatory epistle Mens, cognata vocat summo de culmine rerum, discrimen quo sis manibus atque Iovi. Ne perdas hic iura tui fundoque recumbens implicitus tingas nigri Acherontis aquas. At mage sublimeis tentet natura recessus, nam, tangente Deo, fervidus ignis eris. [To his own spirit O mount, though the Earth bounds you, holding you by the deep roots on which you repose, at the summit you can stretch to heaven. O mind, a sister mind from the high summit of the world calls you, to be the boundary between heaven and hell. Do not lose your rights here below, and do not touch the black waters of Acheron, falling to the bottom and becoming caught in it. Rather, investigate the sublime recesses of nature, since, if God moves you, you will become ardent fire.] AL TEMPO Lente senex, idemque celer, claudensque relaxans, anne bonum quis te dixerit, anne malum? Largus es, esque tenax: quae munera porrigis, aufers; quique parens aderas, ipse peremptor ades; visceribus educta tuis in viscera condis, tu cui prompta sinu carpere fauce licet. Omnia cumque facis cumque omnia destruis, hinc te nonne bonum possem dicere, nonne malum? Porro ubi tu diro rabidus frustraberis ictu, falce minax illo tendere parce manus, nulla ubi pressa Chaos atri vestigia parent ne videare bonus, ne videare malus. [To time O old man, slow and swift, who opens and closes, must we speak well or ill of you? You are generous and stingy; the gifts you offer, you take back; you kill what you cause to be born, and what you generate from your bowels, in your bowels you devour, you to whom it is allowed to consume with your jaws the fruit of your bosom. You create all and destroy all: could I not, then, call you good, and call you evil? But 13
