"Set is perhaps the most mysterious god of the ancient Egyptian pantheon:
|
a lord of contradictions and conflicts,
|
a god at once saving the world and rejected as a traitor,
|
an incarnation of "Other" which, unlike all remaining Egyptian deities,
|
was not even given a recognisable animal face".
|
|
The red dunes are my home
|
Far away from the black Earth
|
I have to wait for the barbarians
|
To come and worship me again
|
|
Nightly I save you all from the serpent
|
Which stalks the world with no end
|
But you still kill me and castrate
|
Turning me into my victim
|
|
I am trampled by those whom I save
|
Despised down and up the river
|
The double slayer, the isolator
|
Set, the lord of desert, is me
|
|
Riding the storms of sand so alien I am
|
You can't even give me the head
|
There would be no life and rebirth
|
Without my fratricide and fight with the bird
|
|
Yet, you break my statues
|
And spear them for a sign
|
Of ungodly displacement
|
And banishment to the edge of the night
|
|
I am trampled by those whom I save
|
Despised down and up the river
|
The double slayer, the isolator
|
Set, the lord of desert, is me
|
