Hymn to Hathor
from The Egyptian Book of the Dead
translation by Normandi Ellis
Blue-lidded daughter of dawn, golden lady of the mountains, carrier of her father’s wisdom, let an old man rest in your arms. Let him look last on love’s face, breathing love’s breath. I live in light a million years. The sun rises or sets now – it matters not. Here is ecstasy in death and certainty in life. We are gods in the body of god, truth and love our destinies. Go then and make of the world something beautiful, set up a light in the darkness.
