No prob. Ok, I see this is a Christmas poem/carol. I had to read the entire thing to fully understand it @ http://www.marieb.com/chris9.html
Now I understand it better:
The work of art [which was a complex labyrinth] was a scandal because it was of such marvel and was so confusing that only God himself could complete this operation - and not any man. With the passing of time, the king of the Arabs came to power, as well as the king of Babylon (to ridicule the simplicity of his tenant)... |
!
haha! Yeah! That's it. I just started and would have never (I skimmed through) assumed it to be a Christmas tale. Interesting. Renzo, you can't go to bed yet. |

**deep breath
They count the worthy men of faith that in the first days was a key of the Isles de Babylon that congregated his arquitects and magicians and demanded to construct a perplex and subtle labyrinth so that the most prudent men weren't able to enter it y those that did would lose themselves.. get lost. "The work of art [which was a complex labyrinth] was a scandal because it was of such marvel and was so confusing that only God himself could complete this operation - and not any man. With the passing of time, the king of the Arabs came to power, as well as the king of Babylon (to ridicule the simplicity of his tenant)..." made to penetrate, enter the labyrinth where vague and confusing insults were made into the decline of night. The Arab king implored of the divine help from god when encountering the door. His lips didn't pronounce complaints to anyone pero he told the Babilonian king that in Arabia there was a better laby y that if God was served he would give to know it one day? He (the Arab king) returned to Arabia and together, his captains y guards and the kingdoms of havoc? was BAbylon with fortunate destroyed castles, (he?) broke the men and made captive the same king. He hitched a camel, a fast camel! and fled to the desert. They rode three days and he said "oh king of the time and the figures of the century" in Babylon you wanted me to get lost in the laby of bronze with many stairs, doors and walls. Now God, it was made well? that you ______ where there are no rising stairs, nor forcing doors nor wearisome galleries that block steps? He untied the ___ and abandoned it in the desert where he died of hunger and thirst. The glory was with God that didn't perish?

Some dignified men
of faith say (but God knows more)
that in the first
days there was a King of
the isles of Babylon
who congregated
arquitects and magicians..
And he sent them to build a
labyrinth so complex
and sublte that even the most
prudent men did not
dare undertake the adventure,
and those who did enter
were easily lost.
The work of art was a
scandal, because it was of such marvel and
was so confusing that only God himself
could complete this operation - and not any man
With the passing of time, the king of the Arabs came to court
and the king of Babylon came (to ridicule the simplicity of his tenant)
and he made him penetrate
the labyrinth, where the King of the Arabs was
insulted and confused...
until the end of
the afternoon came
...so then the King of Arabia
implored for
divine intervention and
slammed the door open.
His lips did not
give one excuse,
but he did tell
the King of Babylon
that in Arabia,
he had another labyrinth
and that, if God was
served, he would let him
see it one day.
Later he returned to Arabia,
congregated the capitans
and mayors and
demolished the reigns of
Babylon with such a
strong force
that he knocked down his castles,
ruined his people,
and held captive
the King himself.
He tied the King down to
a fast camel and
took him to the desert.
They rode for three days,
and he told him: "Oh, King
of time and substance
and the entire century!..
in Babylon you
wanted to lose me
in a bronze labyrinth
with many stairs,
doors and walls; now
The Powerful One [I
will show you
what I have for you - I think, I dunno what this last part means]
..where
there are no stairs
to climb, nor doors
to force open, nor tiring
galleries to cross,
nor walls which can
impede your way."
Then he undid the
ties and abandoned
him in the middle of the
desert, where he died
of hunger and thirst.
Let the glory be with those who do not die... |

hahaah :stongue: @ sensorium
I got it! I GOT IT! I think... :nervous:
The Babilonian king constructed a labyrinth that was of no use essentially, despite it being intricate and grand and what not. It was such that the Arab king got lost and.. angered? The Arab king destroyed or God destroyed? Babylon and the Babl king escaped to the desert. However, the desert became only a more intricate and puzzling a "labyrinth" than the one created by the Babl king himself. He then perishes in his own sort of pretentious creation (desert = his labyrinth) Well, not really HIS labyrinth but a sort of paralleled irony. Moral: We reap what we sew. Karma. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust! God hates all pretentious art. The labyrinths of deserts posess no rising stairs or wearisome steps. Life and death godamnit is a m'fin' labyrinth!!! No one is spared! Ride only fast camels! AND THANK YOU COR! *kiss

Interpratation: Complexity can't beat simplicity, specially when there are man hands involved. In this case the desert represents simplicity. Why does the king of Babylon die? Well, some would say because of his lack of faith. Remember that the king of the Arabs had faith and managed to exit the labyrinth. Now, you could also say that because the king of Babylon was so obsessed with complexity, of course complexity made by his people, he was unable to survive in simplicity. I would go further with this idea but I don't know where I'm going. That which we believe to be simple isn't always. It can lead us to desperation and death. Man-made complexity is simplicity in the eyes of god and in the eyes of those who follow him. I guess what I'm saying in all this is that a complex character like stren is not a good. MeL, on the other hand, representing simplicity, is the best way. |
