Everything has been written, everything has been said,
everything has been made: that's what God heard
before creating the world, when there was nothing yet. I
have also heard that one, he may have answered from
the old, split Nothingness. And then he began.

Todo se ha escrito, todo se ha dicho, todo se ha hecho,
oyó Dios que le decían y aún no había creado el mundo,
todavía no había nada. También eso ya me lo han dicho,
repuso quizá desde la vieja, hendida Nada. Y comenzó.
