1. And a round-eyed youth, with gracefully swaying limbs—

    his charms among people have become like a species within a genus.

  2. He runs the fingertips of his hand over the paper,

    and discerns the faintest writing with the slightest touch.

  3. Then one group said: he possesses the magic of Babylon.

    And another group said: this one is not of humankind.

  4. So I said to them: you have not understood the secret of his perception,

    though it is clearer to the mind than the sun.

  5. A youth whose palm is a well of hearts; thus

    their perceptive faculties became the eyelids of his five fingertips.
