Читать книгу The Luck of the Maya - Theodore Brazeau - Страница 3

Ancient days were not truly great

Ancient peoples wanted only to fight

Ancient names are not true gods

Ancient evil of their faces is fearful

They make enemies, they use owls

They cause injustice and they cause violence

They lie and sneak and they deceive

They are black and they are white

They are masters of stupidity and of confusion

The Popul Vuh, circa 1555 AD

Santa Cruz Quiché, Guatemala

There must be no blame, no obstacle, no lacking, no misery,

No deceiver from behind or from ahead

They must be neither caught, nor hurt

Nor seduced, nor burned

Nor diverted from the middle road

The Popul Vuh. Circa 1555 AD

Santa Cruz Quiché, Guatemala
