Cosmogony of ARTABO

THE SERPANTERRE
and
The Birth
of
Water

(the end)

Then came the First Man, studded with feelers yet mourning
the loss of his wings. He received the Sceptre of Law.
· Carry on, Divine Sky, don't ever stop. Each rain brings forth so many wonders!
I beg you to grant my last request!
This time the rains fell for so long that streams became rivers,
rivers became floods, and floods became oceans.
And waters rushed into the bowels of the flooded earth where
one Being dwelled, a hitherto unseen creature:
The Blue Behemoth!

THE ANGEL looked down on THE SERPANTERRE and guided my brush and my quill,
and then THE SERPANTERRE received THE ANNUNCIATION OF THE DIVINE SKY ;
and she experienced ECSTASY ;
MOONSTRUCK WAS HER HEART ;
MOONSTRUCK WAS HER MIND ;
and then THE ARTABO MANDALA came forth, bearing a possible ideal;
then came TWELVE - PLENITUDE AND FULFILLMENT .
At this point, everything unravelled into the Dot.
