To: Veijo Vilva Content-Length: 954 Lines: 27 Here is my translation. (The decoding into Lojban is solid. The Englishing is highly tentative, being as I haven't a clue what it all means. There seems to be an error in the last line. I have emended the first group MERME into MEUME: this makes it valid Lojban, but hardly meaningful - perhaps the emendation is not correct.) Night circles night. Names name voices. Clouds cover clouds of voices of the names of the night. Silence creates out of silence. Life dreams that magic is alive. Memory anchors the memory that silence is magically alive. What silence orbits, creates out of night. Magic's voices name it 'life that speaks in aliveness'. Cloud establishes the memory that it covers. But that their structure is lovely to me, cries out and blesses the trees, and I make myself connected and actual, and I sing. Green speaks green. Stars light stars of secrets. The path suggests the path of secrets, and leaps the stars of greenness.
