Rh Embracing man, embracing all, proceed the three
 * hundred and sixty-five resistlessly round the sun,

Embracing all, soothing, supporting, follow close three
 * hundred and sixty-five offsets of the first, sure
 * and necessary as they.

Tumbling on steadily, nothing dreading, Sunshine, storm, cold, heat, forever withstanding,
 * passing, carrying,

The Soul's realization and determination still inheriting, The fluid vacuum around and ahead still entering
 * and dividing,

No balk retarding, no anchor anchoring, on no rock
 * striking,

Swift, glad, content, unbereaved, nothing losing, Of all able and ready at any time to give strict
 * account,

The divine ship sails the divine sea.

Whoever you are! motion and reflection are especially
 * for you,

The divine ship sails the divine sea for you.

Whoever you are! you are he or she for whom the
 * earth is solid and liquid,

You are he or she for whom the sun and moon hang
 * in the sky,

For none more than you are the present and the past, For none more than you is immortality.

Each man to himself, and each woman to herself, is
 * the word of the past and present, and the word
 * of immortality,
