Horus by Gérard de Nerval (1808 - 1855) (translated by Ryan Wildstar) The God Kneph trembled, jerking the universe: Up from her marriage bed did Mother Isis rise, An ardor rekindled in her brilliant green eyes, And cast upon her feral husband a hateful curse. “See there,” she said, “the old perv draws his last breath, All the world’s icy vapor has passed through his lips, Snuff out his filmy eye, bind his twisted foot that trips, The god of volcanos, king of winters, nears death! “The eagle has passed and a new spirit calls me The robe of Cybele have I donned again for thee Child so belovèd of Hermes and Osiris!” So fled the goddess atop her conch of gold The sea reflecting back her sacred image to behold And the heavens beaming beneath the scarf of Iris.
Listen to Ryan Wildstar’s version of “Horus” (vocals in the original French):
