With the imagination I heard the speaking of the stars through the tongue of disposition, and that is how the lines were written. Since I do not know the rules of versification, they were not written accordingly, but as they occurred to me. The piece is taken from the Fourth Letter, and the last part of the First Stopping Place of the Thirty-Second Word.]THE UTTERANCE OF THE STARSThen listen to the stars, listen to their harmonious address!See what wisdom has emblazed on the decree of its light!Altogether they start to speak with the tongue of truth,They address the majesty of the All-Powerful One of Glory’s sovereignty:We are each of us light-scattering proofs of the existence of our Maker;We are witnesses both to His Unity and His Power;We are subtle miracles gilding the face of the skiesFor the angels to make excursions on;We are the innumerable attentive eyes of the heavensThat watch the earth, that study Paradise;1

That is, since innumerable miracles of power are exhibited on the face of the earth, which is the seedbed and tillage for Paradise, the angels in the world of the heavens gaze on those miracles, those marvels. And like the angels, the stars, which are like the eyes of the heavenly bodies, gaze on the finely fashioned creatures on the earth, and in so doing look at the world of Paradise. At the same time they look on both the earth and Paradise; they observe those fleeting wonders in an enduring form in Paradise. That is to say, there, there are prospects of both worlds.
