Текст песни ULVER - Proverbs Of Hell
(PLATES 7-10)In seed time learn, in harvest teach, in winter enjoy, driveyour cart and your plow over the bones of the dead, the road of excess leadsto the palace of wisdom. Prudence is a rich ugly old maid courted byincapacity. He who desires but acts not, breeds pestilence. The cut wormforgives the plow. Dip him in the river who loves water. A fool sees not thesame tree that a wise man sees. He whose face gives no light, shall neverbecome a star. Eternity is in love with the productions of time. The busy bee( )has no time for sorrow. The hours of folly are measur'd by the clock; but ofwisdom, no clock can measure. All wholsom food is caught without a net or atrap. Bring out number, weight & measure in a year of dearth. No bird soarstoo high, if he soars with his own wings. A dead body revenges not injuries.The most sublime act is to set another before you. If the fool would persistin his folly, he would become wise. Folly is the cloke of knavery. Shame ispride's cloke. Prisons are built with stones of law, brothers with bricks ofreligion. The pride of the peacock is the glory of God. The lust of the goatis the bounty of God. The wrath of the lion is the wisdom of God. Thenakedness of woman is the work of God. Excess of sorrow laughs. Excess of joyweeps. The roaring of lions, the howling of wolves, the raging of the stormysea, and the destructive sword, are portions of eternity too great for theeye of man. The fox condemns the trap, not himself. Joys impregnate. Sorrowsbring forth. Let man wear the feel of the lion, woman the fleece of thesheep. The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship. The selfish smilingfool, & the sullen, frowning fool shall be thought wise, that they may be arod. What is now proved was only once imagin'd. The rat, the mouse, the fox,the rabbet watch the roots; the lion the tyger, the horse, the elephant,watch the fruits. The cistern contains: the fountain overflows. One thoughtfills immensity, always be ready to speak your mind, and a base man will avoidyou. Every thing possible to be beliv'd is an image of truth. The eagle neverlost so much time, as when he submitted to learn of the crow. The fox providesfor himself, but God provides for the lion. Think in the morning. Act in thenoon. Eat in the evening. Sleep in the night. He who has suffer'd you toimpose on him knows you. As the plow follows words, so God rewards prayers.The tygers of wrath are the wiser than the horses of instruction. Expectpoison from the standing water. You never know what is enough unless you knowwhat is more than enough. Listen to the fool's reproach! It is a kingly title!The eyes of fire, the nostrils of air, the mouth of water, the beard of earth.The weak in courage is strong in cunning. The apple tree never asks the beechhow he shall grow; nor the lion, the horse, how he shall take his pray. Thethankful receiver bears a plentiful harvest. If others had not been foolish,we should be so. The soul of sweet delight can never be defil'd. When thouseest an eagle, thou seest a portion of genius; lift up thy head! As thecaterpiller chooses the fairest leaves to lay her eggs on. So the priest lays
