Excerpt: ...their lustrous glory deign, To teach those on pursuit of beauty bent, Beside those eyes all other beauty''s vain. Immanuel''s most congenial work, however, is as a satirist. One of his best known poems is a chain of distichs, drawing a comparison between two maidens, Tamar the beautiful, and Beria the homely: 222 Tamar raises her eyelids, and stars appear in the sky; Her glance drops to earth, and flowers clothe the knoll whereon she stands. Beria looks up, and basilisks die of terror; Be not amazed; ''tis a sight that would Satan affright. Tamar''s divine form human language cannot describe; The gods themselves believe her heaven''s offspring. Beria''s presence is desirable only in the time of vintage, When the Evil One can be banished by naught but grimaces. Tamar! Had Moses seen thee he had never made the serpent of copper, With thy image he had healed mankind. Beria! Pain seizes me, physic soothes, I catch sight of thee, and it returns with full force. Tamar, with ringlets adorned, greets early the sun, Who quickly hides, ashamed of his bald pate. Beria! were I to meet thee on New Year''s Day in the morning, An omen ''twere of an inauspicious year. Tamar smiles, and heals the heart''s bleeding wounds; She raises her head, the stars slink out of sight. Beria it were well to transport to heaven, Then surely heaven would take refuge on earth. Tamar resembles the moon in all respects but one Gustav Karpeles, Books, Religion and Spirituality, Jewish Literature And Other Essays Books>Religion and Spirituality, General Books LLC<
