гробу скажу: «ты отец мой», червю: «ты мать моя и сестра моя».
if I say to corruption, ‘You are my father,’ and to the worm, ‘My mother’ or ‘My sister,’
if I say to the pit, ‘You are my father,’ and to the worm, ‘My mother,’ or ‘My sister,’
If I call to the pit, ‘You are my father’; To the worm, ‘my mother and my sister’;
What if I call the grave my father, and the maggot my mother or my sister?
I have said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister.
If I say to corruption, ‘You are my father,’ And to the worm, ‘You are my mother and my sister,’
I cry to the grave, Thou art my father! to the worm, My mother, and my sister!
