But now day breaks! I waited and saw it come,And what I saw, the hallowed, my word shall convey,For she, she herself, who is older than the agesAnd higher than the gods of Orient and Occident,Nature has now awoken amid the clang of arms,And from high Aether down to the low abyss,According to fixed law, begotten, as in the past, on holy Chaos,Delight, the all-creative,Delights in self-renewal.
-Friedrich Hölderlin
