One more by Ekelöf - 'Den dubbla bokföringen'

double-entry bookkeeping

Strange eyes you have given me, god

whose name I do not know

to behold you who do not exist!

For you, human being, it is such

that That Which Does Not Exist you lack

and what you lack must needs exist

And this is not semantic sophistry

but the balance of Nullification!

Oh Nothing, rich in adornments

Oh Nothing, the fount of wisdom

full of sacrificed looks, Nothing’s adornments

Nothing’s burning lights

under Nothing’s vault, borne

by mighty columns, like organ notes in a

registration where the vibrations cancel each other out

Daylight’s stained glass windows

with colours that cancel each other out,

prayers of words that cancel each other out

acts the cause of which nullifes the effect

and tooth for a tooth cancel each other out

Balance! Oh cathedral

that eradicate yourself:

Vision and countervision!

The domain of nullification not arrogance.
