Tikkanen, Graalin malja. T. S. ELIOT, The Waste Land (Autio maa) runoelman johdosta. OSA I

1. Come now, ye rich men,
weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
2. Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten.
3. Your gold and silver is cankered;
and the rust of them shall be a testimony against you,
and shall eat your flesh as it were fire.
Ye have amassed treasure for the last days.
4. Behold, the hire of the laborers who have reaped your fields,
which is by you kept back by fraud, crieth:
and the cries of them who have reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth.
(James 5:1-4)

1. The burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish; for it is laid waste, 
so that there is no house, no entering in: from the land of Chittim it is revealed to them. 
2. Be still, ye inhabitants of the isle; thou whom the merchants of Zidon, 
that pass over the sea, have replenished. 
3. And by great waters the seed of Sihor, 
the harvest of the river, [is] her revenue; and she is a mart of nations. 
4. Be thou ashamed, O Zidon: for the sea hath spoken, 
[even] the strength of the sea, saying, 
I travail not, nor bring forth children, 
neither do I nourish young men, [nor] bring up virgins.
