Note 5 — Chapter X
Alphonse Nahuys translation
“The gazelles so gentle (pious) and clever
Skip lightly in frolicsome mood;
And in the distance roars ever
The holy river’s loud flood.
“And there, while joyously sinking
Beneath the palm by the stream,
And love and repose while drinking,
Of blissful visions we’ll dream.”
—From Bowring’s Heine’s Poems. Lond. 1866.
