Translated by Ruth Christie
This is man's law of the blood:
to make wine from the grape
to strike fire from the stone
and human beings from kisses
This is man's law of the soul:
no matter what happens
to live in the face of poverty and wars
and a thousand and one calamities!
This is man's law of reason:
to convert water to light
to render the dream true
to make the enemy a friend!
This is man's principal law
from the child on all fours
to the runner in space
to be always on course!
