| Moshe Ibn Ezra: Let Man Remember |
PEN America 6: Metamorphoses
Peter Cole is the recipient of a 2004 PEN Translation Fund Award for The Dream of the Poem: The Hebrew Poetry of Muslim and Christian Spain (Princeton University Press).
Let Man Remember
Let man remember throughout his life
he’s on his way toward death:
each day he travels only a little
so he thinks he’s always at rest—
like someone sitting at ease on a ship
while the wind sweeps it over the depths.
Translated by Peter Cole
