Threats of Hell and Hopes of Paradise

about

last of the"seven agonies": décathexis, the seven stages that were part of the inspiration for the soundtrack for Eros Délétère, choreographie by Thierry Smits, Compagnie Thor (Brussels, 1991).

lyrics

Up from Earth's Centre through the Seventh Gate
I rose, and on the Throne of Saturn sate,
And many a Knot unravel'd by the Road;
But not the Master-knot of Human Fate.

Each Morn a thousand Roses brings, you say;
Yes, but where leaves the Rose of Yesterday?
And this first Summer month that brings the Rose
Shall take Jamshyd and Kaikobbad away.

Whether at Naishapur or Banylon,
Whether the Cup with sewwt or bitter run,
The Wine of Life keeps oozing drop by drop,
The Leaves of Life keep falling one by one.

We are no other than a moving row
Of magic Shadow-shapes that come and go
Round with the Sun-illumin'd Lantern held
In Midnight by the Master of the Show

And we, that now make merry in the Room
They left, and Summer dresses in new bloom,
Ourselves must we beneath the Couch of Earth
Descend-ourselves to make a Couch-for whom?

Heav'n but the Vision of fulfill'd Desire,
And Hell the Shadow from a Soul on fire
Cast on the Darkness into which Ourselves,
So late ermerg'd from, shall so soon expire.

Oh Threats of Hell and Hopes of Paradise!
One thing at least is certain--This Life flies;
One thing is certain and the rest is Lies;
The Flower that once has blown for ever dies.

Ah, make the most of what we yet may spend,
Before we too into Dust descend;
Dust into Dust, and under Dust, to lie,
Sans Wine, sans Song, sans Singer, and--sans End!

Ah, take the Cash and let the Credit go,
Nor heed the rumble of a distant Drum!

(from Omar Khayyâm - "Rubayat").
