TRANSLATOR'S NOTE
Bergadis' Apokopos, a lyrical poem describing a dream descent to the Underworld, has proved enduringly popular throughout the Greek-speaking world since its probable date of composition around 1400. The first literary text in the vernacular to be printed as a Venetian chapbook in 1509 (A), it was also included in one of the earliest manuscript collections of such texts to be produced in Ottoman Greece (V). Reprints from later chapbooks continued into the nineteenth century, within a few decades of Emile Legrand's first scholarly edition of 1870. At the same time, formulaic and thematic parallels between certain passages of the poem and laments recorded from oral tradition suggest deep-seated interaction. Whether the poem influenced, or drew from, oral tradition - or a combination of both - Bergadis' Apokopos has remained a live and formative text for over 600 years.
Yet outside the Greek-speaking world, the poem is virtually unknown except to scholars. Neither Manuel Gonzales Rincon's English rendering (1990) nor his Spanish version (1992) has circulated widely. Having known and loved this poem since I began work on laments over forty years ago, I made it my first task as Seferis Professor of Modem Greek at Harvard University in 1986 to produce an English rendering which I could circulate in lectures and seminars so as to make this gem of world literature better known to diverse audiences (including classicists) unable to cope with the vagaries of medieval Greek. Still I hesitated to finalise and publish my translation. There remained too many uncertainties, textual and other; besides, we were all hoping that eventually the editio princeps of 1509 would turn up. And so it did, thanks to Evro Layton's untiring watchfulness (1990), thereby making possible for the first time a full synoptic edition of the two best witnesses, A and V. It is my pleasure and privilege to have worked with Peter Vejleskov on this poem over the past year.
For those of us who have taught this poem for so long even without the necessary aids, there was never any doubt as to its literary qualities or its appeal to people of all kinds. Each new reading brings new questions and fresh insights. Who is the poet-dreamer, and what is his lineage? Does he wake up to take the messages back to the living, as bidden by the dead? Which is the
famed but overweening city the two young men claim to hail from? Whatever answers we choose, it is the poet's exploration of a world outside his own, and the smell of life about him, that quickens the dead in their Underworld gloom to voice their questions and stories, at first to the poet, then to each olher, and finally in throngs that send the poet hastening back to our world -or to the realm of books and fantasy: a truly Renaissance poem.
Conflicts of wealth, gender and religion abound, yet it is the tensions between the living and the dead that command our attention. Raw emotions are evoked as the dead ask about widows, mothers, sisters, priests. Misogyny and anti-clericalism are rife, but tempered by an ambivalence that casts no judgement. The aristocratic pursuits and perceptions of poet and young men are in the end levelled down by the equalisation of every human being in death. As I worked on the poem over the past fifteen ninths of trials and tribulations, including recovery from cancer and my 99-year old mother's return from near death, not to mention December's tsunami and the limbless, headless bodies of victims shattered by war and terrorism, what has sustained me is the authenticity of the poetic voice. Begadis' name suggests noble Veneto-Cretan lineage; yet he writes in the Cretan vernacular, and employs the fifteen-syllable rhyming couplet with ease. Familiarity with Greek laments, with precedents such as Homer, Virgil, Lucian, Dante, and even the twelfth-century Byzantine dialogue, Timarion, are by no means inconceivable nor irreconcilable. Neither didactic nor allegorical, he invites us to confront the fears and hopes of living and dead by showing that we can speak to the dead. And they speak back.
This is the first English translation to be made by a native speaker of English, and the first that fully respects the text tradition. I hey an with V, but soon decided in favour of A, because it is the more complete and viable text, as well as being the first modern Greek printed book. 1 have no hard and fast rules, but I have tried to observe three principles. First, to know and love the text by heart so I could work out exact meanings and nuances while doing mundane chores or waiting for buses, as well as when checking glossaries and commentaries. Second, to read and listen to English voices and rhythms that are roughly compatible with the poem's chronological range of active transmission. To that end, I worked with Beowulf, Chaucer, Shakespeare, madrigals and ballads. Third, the nearest native equivalent to the original metre - in our case something like "Barbara Allen" - may not provide the best model, as too hard to sustain without music for a poem of 570 lines.

Translation according to A
Eventually I settled on a five-measure line of ten syllables, with variation permitted between nine and twelve. To convey the somewhat stilted, and markedly different, tone of the Epilogue, I chose an elegiac nine-syllable line with a falling beat.
May this poem live for ever, and be translated into all the languages of the world!

"Apokopos" by Bergadis, a poem most learned and beloved by the wise Worn out with toil I once longed for repose; I lay on my bed and let my eyes close. 5      I thought I gave chase in a fair meadow, riding on horseback with saddle and reins, a sword at my belt, a spear in my hand, accoutred with weapons, arrows and bow. I thought I gave bold pursuit to a doe: 10     at times she stood still, at times she sped on. Daybreak it was: I set off on the hunt, and kept chasing till day broke its crossways. All at once the doe was gone from my sight, yet how and when, I am at a loss to write.
15     Then did I cease to chase and cease to speed, pursuing the uncatchable, punishing my steed. Gently I rode onwards, slowly I ambled, wondering at the world, its blooms and bounties. Towards dusk I reached the midst of the meadow
20     where I longed to dismount at a wondrous tree. I got down at the tree, tethered my horse, took off my weapons and laid them beside me. The place I dismounted, where I was standing, was the meadow's navel, laden with flowers.
25     The tree was tender, its foliage dense,
bursting with blooms and fragrant apples.

Myriads of birds had their nests in the tree,
each one singing in tune with nature.
The bounties and pleasures of tree and place, 30     the song of the birds and the long day's toil
made me perforce to pause and take breath, as
I lifted my gaze to the top of the tree:
I thought I saw bees swarming and nesting
where plenty of honey lay thick set in wax. 35     At once I felt urged to climb up and taste,
but up there the swarm awaited with spite.
So I climbed the tree with fervour and toil,
stopping quite still when I saw the queen bee.
I groped through the wax and ate of the honey 40     as my mind said: give the soul what it wants!
I ate, never sated; hungered, I reached
out till starving I gorged myself once more.
Not once did the queen bee cease her attack
until I saw the tree begin to move, 45     sway, swerve and tremble as if to fall down:
stricken with panic, I ate nothing more.
I lifted my gaze to the tree and its branches,
looking closely inside - who made it shake?
Two mice, as it seemed, had circled the tree, 50     one white, one black, each greedily licking the roots.
Down they gnawed as the tree bent to a fall
till roots bade the peak to lay down its head.
Affrighted to look, I climbed down in haste,
but there I was trapped, like a swarm at its food. 55     The tree I had thought to be in a meadow
stood on a cliff-top above a dark well.
In its fall the tree seemed to crave the cliff
while day drew in and night was upon us.
Gone was my every hope of salvation, 60     for it was clear to me where I would end:
48b: bend 54b: in the field
in the well's pit I saw a dread dragon waiting with jaws agape for me to fall. Then down fell the tree and I went with it as the birds flew off and the bees fled. 65     Landing, it seemed, inside the dragon's mouth into a dark tomb, earth, sunless soil I slipped.
There in the dark place where I had landed I thought I could hear the commotion of men noisily arguing how I got down there.
70     Talk was among them to send and find out who had got into Hades, who made a noise, who opened the door, slipped in without leave? Like cobwebs two black shades came forth, as if but an outline of young men in torment.
75     Humbly they greeted me, gently they spoke, but I was dumbstruck, no reply. They ask, "Whence, where from? Who are you? What do you seek? How can you move in the dark with no guide? How did you get here, alive, with a soul,
80     and how will you reach your homeland again? Who comes down to Hades cannot go back: only the Second Coming can raise him up. Your breath smells of life, your clothes are shining, as if you've been tracking on meadows and plains.
85     You come from the world, the land of the living! Tell us if the sky holds, does the world stand, if there's thunder and lightning, clouds and rain, and does the Milky Way meander and flow; if there are gardens and trees, birds that sing,
90     if mountains are fragrant and trees in bloom.
Are meadows cool, does the wind blow sweetly? Do heaven's stars and morning star still shine?

Say whether church bells ring for priests to chant, rising at dawn to light up the lanterns; 95     if young folk still gather at summertime,
clasped by the hand as they pass through the town,
singing soft songs of longing at daybreak,
as they walk quietly by in orderly file?
Do they hold weddings, feasts and holy days?
100 Are the girls courted, and are they all happy?
115    Say if they still leave early on Saturdays,
in haste to get to the bath-house and change,
so Sunday morning they can wash their face,
dress up in their finest and go to church.
Do grand dames in cloaks walk out with handmaids 120    trailing the scent of musk and the bath-house;
and if nobles have courtyards, palaces, halls.
Do some have the heart and others the pride
to sweep out with retinues, pitch tents on plains,
hunting for partridge with hawks and with hounds? 125    Young folks and householders - do they honour
still their elders, as when we were alive?
101 As for the world you passed through, the lands you crossed, do the joyful living ones think of us?
Tell us! Do they grieve and keen for us at all?
Do they lament as when they buried us? 105    Do you bring messages, letters of comfort
from the bereaved to bitter black Hades?
Read us the papers and tell us the news,
let's have it - here's all we have in Hades!"
They sighed at each word, at every two they groaned: 110    "Scatter, wordless soil! Open, earth!" they cried.
but let in heaven's dew, let sun's rays shine!
96b: at daybreak, 122b: power 125: Are they still honoured - girls, women, householders 126a: as they used to be 105b: of request 106b: bitter forgotten
"May gates of Hades crash, may chains be sundered,
113 [so we can see each other, light be shed -
114 do young men have faces, young girls charms?"]
127    I saw how they keened, how they lamented,
as they urged me to say how life goes on.
My soul surged with such pity and sorrow 130    I decided to tell them how the world fares.
"Yes, the sky holds", I say, "and the world stands.
Nothing is missing from what you recall:
with blossoms and fruits, tilling, planting and smells
the twelve-monthed year turns round like a wheel. 135    Some folks are happy without a thought for you,
while others grieve for you, consumed with pain."
They ask, "Do the happy ones have kin here
with those buried in earth, sent down to Hades?"
I tell them, "Yes, they do have kinsfolk here 140    but they're far away, and they have forgotten.
Gone from their thoughts are the dead, whose wealth they
spend with others: out of sight, out of mind!"
Then they groaned, asking "What of young widows?
Can they have sought a second wedding crown? 145    Or donned the black habit, bearing the Cross,
sitting in monasteries praying for us?
Don't hide it, just tell us how they behave:
do they forget us, enjoy life with others?"
Seeing how much they grieved, desperate to know, 150    I fell silent, lest they keen themselves to
still greater harm should they hear what goes on.
Said my mind to itself: that's quite enough!
I made the sign of silence, shook my head
and turned my back so they could ask no more. 155    Back they went to the start all over again,

plied me with questions one after another:
"Why wait to reply? Man, give an answer:
feel pain for our suffering, pity our grief!"
In the end I made this reply, "Why ask? 160    Why force me to say what I know you will hate?
You know what goes on: only here it's not clear:
there's no friend for him who lies buried and dead.
The proverb speaks truth, it tells no lie:
woe to him laid in earth, covered with soil!" 165    I say, "In answer will this be enough?
Else I'll spell out each and every detail,
I'll give you such fill of moanings and groanings
as will send you scuttling back into Hades.
Well then, since you ask me, I'll let you know 170 .how each man's love-mate behaves in the world: ] Young widowed women kiss other men's lips, !  talking you down in their lovers' embrace.
On them they bestow your garments and bedclothes
with no word of your name by common consent. 175    As for the time they spent living with you,
it seemed no more than a day or a week!
During your lifetime they took other lovers,
keen to be rid of you, wanting you gone.
Once they had buried you, wearing their black, 180    some got with child, making milk once more.
Shame made them show bitter shedding of tears
all the while meaning to live with a lover.
True, some gave manifest signs of widowhood
by sitting in darkness - no husbands for them! 185    But all too soon out a-hunting they go,
chasing up churches, spending your savings.
With candles and rosaries, in broad woollen cloaks
they even dare scatter incense like priests.

From sixth or seventh hour on holy days 190    when churches are closed and folks have gone home
they leapfrog your gravestones, riding across you,
consorting with priests in furtive whispers,
consulting the gospels, they nod up and down,
smiling with one eye they wink with the other. 195    Some do it in alleyways, others for snacks,
then on the nightwatch get laid on the bed.
Yes, those who grieve from the heart, true widows,
they sit in darkness, seeking no husband.
They avoid churches, abhor monasteries, 200    keeping doors tightly bolted, windows barred.
Reason is their priest, mind their confessor
as they shun the load of people's slander.
Have you seen birds of prey scrum over fodder,
the flock behind like a clan on the terrace? 205    That's how holy fathers crowd round widows'
homes, rendering perforce their nights into days.
They fight hard to move them on, get them out
- just listen to what they say and teach: "Woman, what good does it do you to sit there
210    at home in the dark like a broody hen?
Woman, get down from up there in the attic, and be off to church to hear words of God. The wealth you enjoy, the goods you dispose

220    - ungirdled off they trundle, like friars in clogs."
They heard what goes on, they got their answers,
gave groan after groan to learn the dread news.
Whispering together, out of my hearing,
- should they ask more? I heard one of them say. 225    But the other one - his hair stood on end,
as he cried "His news is enough - no more!"
The pair turned to me, "Don't mock us if we
ask one more question. Tell us, so please you,
how can our poor mothers bear to look on, 230    their sons gone, their daughters-in-law re-wed,
how can they stand up at home, and no talk there?
how look on sons' clothes, no bodies in them?"
I reply, "With you they lost their life's light,
they can't see what goes on or control their goods. 235    Yes, they grieve for you, they groan for your sakes,
they think only of you, forgetting the world!"
When our questions were over and done,
they made the sign of silence, asked no more.
Then they groaned and told their own tale of woe 240    - it was a grievous story, like a dirge.
Listen to what they spoke and sang,
and how, in telling, they could stay no tears:
"Christ, could tombstone be shattered, earth dissolved,
and we wretches be risen from sunless bed! 245    If we could have our forms and faces back
with tongues to speak out, our plaint to be heard,
our feet on the ground and walking on earth,
we'd be riding our horses, hawks on the wrist,
our hounds racing home before we got back there 250    for the news to be spread: the dead have come back!
Then we should see who came to greet us

and welcome us home at the courtyard gate; whether the oaths they had sworn us proved true: 'By the king of heaven, the great creator,
255    if only Charos dealt in fair exchange,
gladly we had given you body and soul!' With such sorrowing words and grieving form, with moanings and groanings and shedding of tears they stole our wealth and gave it to others
260    while they enjoy other men, forgetting us.
Woe unto men worn down by women's boldness, for Charos flings them alive into Hades. Whoever heeds their tears, believes their words, is chasing game on lakes, fish on mountain sides.
265    When she gives show of pain, she's exulting, desirous of shame, eager for evil, smiling with one eye, tears in the other; the tear shows her grief, the laugh her deceit. She makes her pimp pity her, spend on her,
270    taking tuppence for farthing - not worth it! from tuppence to shilling, on to a guinea: with clients and time she'll hit the hundred!"
They had learned all, groaned ten thousand times over then they lowered their voices, changed their tune.
275    They rested their cheeks, as I saw, on their palms, while tears gushed forth as they do from a stream. As soon as I saw their grief had subsided I made up my mind to ask them a question: "Whence, where from? How is it you came down
280    to Hades together? When did it happen?" Hearing my question they fell to the ground as they wept and cast their glance upwards to me. "That is a question you must not ask lest our danger increase: be silent, please."

285    After a while one of the pair took heart,
turned round to face me and gave this reply:
"Well then, as you've asked, I'm going to tell you
as one now constrained with embittered lips.
Take heed: in our homeland we come from noble 290    stock. Which homeland? you ask - we'll tell you next.
Ours is the homeland where there is wealth;
where eating fish came by nature and birthright.
A wild place, no way through, a thicket for birds,
where conceit grew brash and impudence bred, 295    where tournaments vanquished the mobbing crowd,
where the well-off held sway over the people.
The mirror of heaven, the world's icon;
as at dice it threw sixes stuck on the one,
the judgement of wisdom, sovranty's moon, 300    the source of riches, the army's steed.
It was the seat opposite the realm of Rome,
vessel of arrogance and duplicity.
In this city was our father first man,
shining like the morning sun, in darkness moon. 305    Our eldest sister was married abroad
far away from home, many years ago.
Father saw fit to send us out there
for good times together as brothers and friends.
He ordered a ship to be built and equipped, 310    to be rigged out fast at double the wage.
They brought up young lads, stood them before him,
from three he chose two, then the best of the pair.
When he had the ship decked with weapons and wealth,
287a: Briefly, 288b: dry 289b: what stock we come from 290: and which is our homeland, we'll tell you next. 291b: that is called Lion 292: where they ate fish against nature in famine 293b: of birdnests 294: where winged nets and impudence abound 295a: crookedness (?) b: street mobs 296: abandoned 298: where the packhorse abandoned Chalcedon itself 299-300 not in V 303b: Rome's 310: be prepared and repaired at highest speed
with warriors, nobles and so many lords, 315    he went on board together with us,
and admired the craft as a thing of beauty.
We knelt down before him, as he ordained,
while he led the prayers for all of us on board.
For our sakes he laboured and hastened to 320    say, T beg you, maker of earth and sky,
grant them safe journey, safe return to my
table so I can see them around me.'
He prayed for us, wept and disembarked,
then ordered the rest of the forces to board. 325    With a gesture he bade us to rise and
be off at once, keeping close on our course.
Out rushed the captain and issued commands
to loosen the cable towards open seas.
The trumpets resounded, instruments played 330    and the sailors sat as they saw and chose.
They weighed anchor, and plied the oars as they
rowed and turned round to reach offshore anchorage.
Before taking leave, they all raised the cry,
getting the captain's commands for the route. 335    Once set on our course it was then that our
minds filled with dismay - when would we be home?
We were worried; our minds imagined the worst
- what if we met our death in foreign parts?
In less than three hours the fortress had vanished; 340    the next hour brought sundown and the first star.
The sky showed clear, the wind was fair,
as night wore her finest, none finer than this.

holding their course with longing and joy. 345    Then towards midnight the clear skies went black,
the winds were in turmoil, the seas roared.
To much thunder and lightning, the louring
clouds then conspired to bring ruin upon us.
Just as sheep for the slaughter at the butcher's 350    hand lie frozen at the sight of the knife,
so did we look on death before our eyes.
We knew for sure we were bound for Hades,
for the waves kept lashing against the winds,
the sailors took fright, and began to tremble. 355    Then came a cloudburst, hard on thunder and snow,
and on impact it grabbed the portside rudder.
On larboard side the mast came crashing down,
with dreadful din, and smashed to smithereens.
With the cloudburst a second wave crashed over 360    us, and water on water made our grave.
The throes of death found us locked and entwined
in each other's embrace, to our great grief,
and shot us down under conjoined to the depths
where Charos received us in Hades with souls. 365    What then became of the rest, we know not,
for we parted from them as from strangers.
I was twenty years old, he a bit older
when we were crowned together, each to a mate.
That is why we were allowed to be buried 370    together, and walk about as a pair.
We get down to Hades, and along comes our sister,
holding a baby. She turns round and sees us:
ceasing to haste, ceasing to speed, seized with
wonder at such an unexpected sight!
344b: with glory and 348a: soon 349b: knife 350: sees what the knife-point has in store 352b: in each other's arms 355b: rain and 356b: at once the rudder 359: Secondly, the cloud-burst soon reached us 361a: peril 365a: rest of the crew 366a: they parted from us 367b: two years 369b: keep company
375    - how meet in Hades those she deemed alive,
how behold their grief to lose the world?
Lost in thought she stood and stared - it was all
too hard to believe, she bided her time.
Then she made up her mind: she looked, knew us 380    and, upon recognition, she drew close,
clasped each of us in her arms with yearning
till she hung from our necks. Then she began
to bathe her face in tears, as she asked
in amazement, 'Can it really be you, 385    you who were my eyes, you my light to see,
once held in honour, myself in bright raiment?'
She wept to one side, we to the other,
then in tears she spoke out and asked us again:
'When and how did it happen, what I see now? 390    And how came Fate to weave her threads against you?'
A long time passed before we could answer
giving full details to all her questions.
Then we responded in tears and with pain,
telling her what disaster time held in store: 395    how ocean's hazard, hurricane's peril
sent us to Hades without cause of war.
'We were coming to see you with longing,
with father's blessing, then to make our way home;
but his blessing turned curse, his prayer a burden: 400    death was our course, Charos our journey.
Here's a small sign as to when this happened:
our clothes are still a bit wet, as you see.'
Hearing my question, she wept, sang a dirge:
'Alas for whom grievous news awaits
376: how she left them alive - now where were they? 380b: quickly 383a: our faces 386: thus when looking at you I was dressed in glory 388a: when we'd lamented 390: Fate's evil to strike 394: this ...the winds 395 not in V 396a: cast us into 398a: at... behest 401b: how 403a: what had happened 404: whoever awaits bad news
236 Translation according to A
405    - one night, one evening has sent down to Hades
their comfort, two sons and one daughter!
They sowed their Charos, they reaped only death.
What they gained through their toils is left to others.
Their glory a bloom, their joy but a flower, 410    and that's why the sun has brought the dread news.
They laid foundations in snow, they built on water;
now the snows are melted, waters dispersed.
Their foundation collapsed, the building cracked;
their heart now sundered by a two-edged sword. 415    Fortune notched her bow implacably, then
emptied her quiver till she shot them down.
She made the heart the target of her bow,
arrows on the mark one after another,
not one went astray, they were all wounded. 420    - nowhere else to shoot, she'd killed them all.'
When we had wept and lamented together
we asked, 'When did you get down to Hades?'
Hearing our question she wept and lamented,
then turned towards us and gave this reply: 425    'As I lay on my bed, fretful and vexed
-1 was eight months with child as I recall -
in my sleep I thought I heard voices, calling
'Why are you idle? Your brothers are drowned!'
At once my guts burst, I had a stroke: 430    out came my child, my soul sped upwards.
That is how Charos brought me death in childbirth
as I took with me this child in my arms.
Charos granted me this one share from the world,
as heart's ease and soul mate down here in Hades.'

435    Just then at daybreak, up came a servant,
he drew up close to her, greeting her thus:
'Take leave of these men at once, do not delay!
Go to Charos' courtyard - you have dues to pay!'
In a short while five creatures came for us, 440    darting fiery tongues out of their mouths.
They were armed, winged, ferocious and black;
their visage was hideous, as black as pitch;
their feet, claws and wings were just like a bat's.
Softly they spoke to us, such were their words.' 445    At the close the young men said, "Well then you've heard:
I've told you what happened, you have learned all.
As to when this took place, you urged me to tell,
I've lost my sense of time, gone from my mind,
for in bitter Hades no sun rises, 450    nor moon sends down its light from the sky.
Here time does not happen; day makes no difference,
only eternal darkness stretches out."
He finished his story, drew near and stood still
as if he was waiting to hear more news. 455    They turned to me and asked once again
to hear more troubles and news of the world.
I could not reply or stay any longer;
I had to turn round, get back to the light.
"Any more questions? I'm going home", I told them. 460    "Wait!", they say, "for the missing to come out
in case they want to send a message too
along with their letters from bitter Hades."

Their lips are blackened; cut off their speech; their skull is split, spilled out their brains.
515    We say this so you - without our letters -can tell of our bodies' boundless harm in case they feel the pangs of pity and open palms in memory of us. That's why I ask you - please don't forget -
520    to go tomorrow to our homes and speak! Tell our wives, and tell our children too, spend from our goods on the many poor; send to the prisons bread, wine and flour, so we too may get great or lesser thanks.
525    [Let them find the worldly will I made, bequeathing to none save my children, Thinking, poor wretch, they would act for me who in my lifetime had done bad deeds. That's why I ask again - don't forget,
530    go to our homes, as I said, speak out! All of you, I beg, while still alive, do deeds for Christ wherever you may go, so you may find treasure without toil, wherever you may speed in haste and toil.
535    Let no kin beguile, nor wife nor child, to leave them gifts to give for your soul. No, joy to him who reaches out his hand before he dies and opens up his purse. I was tight-fisted: no poor man ever dared
540    to ask me for anything, open his mouth,
because they knew too well my reputation! Never drew they near, nor did I want them. I kept tight and close, with neither thought nor crumb to spare for my soul's sake.
Translation according to A
545    Whoever thinks his will guarantees gifts to the poor after death deceives his soul -- they just don't care, they can't be bothered, except to eat, drink, hold on to their goods, keeping them locked up with two or three chains,
550    florins, dinars and "feathers" with gold curtains, working out only how to increase them without a thought for those who bequeathed. You'd say they never knew them, shared a meal, nor ate together on a dish of lentils.
555    I have no more for you to tell the bereaved,
just many greetings from us, sorely maimed".]
Glory to the father, to the son and to the holy spirit, to my maker and God and all-causing creator. Amen
