A Thirsty Fish

I don't get tired of you. Don't grow weary

of being compassionate toward me!

All this thirst equipment

must surely be tired of me,

the waterjar, the water carrier.

I have a thirsty fish in me

that can never find enough

of what it's thirsty for!

Show me the way to the ocean!

Break these half-measures,

these small containers.

All this fantasy

and grief.

Let my house be drowned in the wave

that rose last night in the courtyard

hidden in the center of my chest.

Joseph fell like the moon into my well.

The harvest I expected was washed away.

But no matter.

A fire has risen above my tombstone hat.

I don't want learning, or dignity,

or respectability.

I want this music and this dawn

and the warmth of your cheek against mine.

The grief-armies assemble,

but I'm not going with them.

This is how it always is

when I finish a poem.

A great silence comes over me,

and I wonder why I ever thought

to use language.

Rumi

Magical Water Jar of Sithathoryunet 𓉡𓅭𓏏𓉺𓏌𓏏 with Lid This highly sculptural image 𓏏𓅱𓏏𓀾𓏪 “twt”of a vessel 𓎿𓋴𓏲𓏊 “ḥstw” resembles the much smaller metal ewers with spouts that Egyptians 𓂋𓐝𓎀𓀂𓀭𓏪 “rmṯ” used—together with matching basins—for washing their hands 𓂧𓏏𓏭 “dr.twy” before meals and pouring libations 𓇋𓃀𓅱𓈗 “ı͗bḥw” for deities 𓊹𓊹𓊹 “nṯrw” and the dead 𓅓𓏏𓀐 “m(w)t”. The utilitarian form has been enlarged and transferred into stone in order to assure an eternal 𓆖 “d.t” water 𓈗 “mw” supply for the dead princess 𓇓𓅬𓏏 “nsw s3.t” The incised text reads, in translation: "Princess Sithathoryunet 𓉡𓅭𓏏𓉺𓏌𓏏, “s3.t ḥw.t-ḥr ı͗wnw.t” accept these your cool waters from the earth, which beget everything living and all things, for they are what this earth gives—(this earth) that begets everything living and from which everything comes. May you (Sithathoryunet) live through them and be restored through them. May you live and be restored through this air that is from it. It shall beget you and you shall emerge alive through everything you might desire. May they be to your good." Period: Middle Kingdom Dynasty: Dynasty 12 Reign: reign of Senwosret II–Amenemhat III Date: ca. 1887–1813 B.C. Geography: From Egypt, Fayum Entrance Area, Lahun, Tomb of Sithathoryunet (BSA Tomb 8), BSAE excavations, 1920 Medium: Travertine (Egyptian alabaster) Dimensions: Overall . 56 cm (22 1/16 in); diam. 26.7 cm (10 1/2 in) h. of jar 41.9 cm (16 1/2 in) h. of lid 17.1 cm (6 3/4 in) 𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬 📸 @egyptologylessons 𓋹𓊽𓋴𓆖𓎛𓇳𓎛 © (@metmuseum and description) 𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁 #Ancientegypt #ägypten #egyptianhistory #egyptology #hieroglyphs #egypte #egitto #埃及 #مصر #egipto #이집트 #alabaster #jar #metropolitanmuseumofart #waterjar #purification https://www.instagram.com/p/CfJk6wnOJbk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
