E come in vetro, in ambra o in cristallo
raggio resplende sì, che dal venire
a l'esser tutto non è intervallo,
così 'l triforme effetto del suo sire
ne l'esser suo raggiò insieme tutto
sanza distinzione in essordire.
And as in glass, amber, or crystal,
a ray flashes without interval
between its coming and lighting all
so did the three form matter,
being shining forth altogether
without distinction, all at once.
Creation
came
complete
from no thing
suddenly all things
Being becoming

Quinci si può veder come si fonda
l'essere beato ne l'atto che vede,
non in quel ch'ama, che poscia seconda;
e del vedere è misura mercede,
che grazia partorisce e buona voglia:
così di grado in grado si procede.
From this it is seen the foundation
of blessedness is the act of vision
not of love which is a consequence;
and seeing merit is the measure
produced by grace and good will
and so step by step unfolds.
What do I imagine
What do I see
What do I believe to be true
On this basis
For this purpose
I will choose

che la fortuna che tanto s'aspetta,
le poppe volgerà u' son le prore,
sì che la classe correrà diretta;
e vero frutto verrà dopo 'l fiore».
the tempest so long waited
will turn the sterns where are the prows
so the fleet runs straight;
and fine fruit follows the flower.
Distracted
I lost the way
choosing exactly wrong
Attracted
I can't yet say
this turn is any better
le poppe volgerà u' son le prore,
sì che la classe correrà diretta;
e vero frutto verrà dopo 'l fiore».
the tempest so long waited
will turn the sterns where are the prows
so the fleet runs straight;
and fine fruit follows the flower.
Distracted
I lost the way
choosing exactly wrong
Attracted
I can't yet say
this turn is any better

Ben fiorisce ne li uomini il volere;
ma la pioggia continua converte
in bozzacchioni le sosine vere.
Fairly blossoms the will in humankind;
but continual rain converts
sound plums into rotten, empty skins.
The deluge of life
a deficit of light
may reduce our zest
but our roots remain
and another season
beckons

Luce e amor d'un cerchio lui comprende,
sì come questo li altri; e quel precinto
colui che 'l cinge solamente intende.
Light and love encircle and enclose,
even as the circle surrounds all, and that place
where the one who encircles is alone.
Cycle within cycle
path crossing path
merging diverging
Colliding subsiding
unfolding and holding
me you she he becoming...
