"He looked at me and said: Peace be with you, Miriam. When he turned his voice, his life spoke to death. 'Cause you know my friend, I was dead. I was a woman who was separated from his soul. I was living separate from this 'I' that you see now. belonged to all men and to no one. I was called a prostitute and a woman possessed by seven demons. I cursed and envied. When his eyes looked me in the eyes of the dawn were lit all the stars of my night and I became Miriam, Miriam simply, a woman who had lost to the world, who had known and who has found a new land.
I said, Log in my home and share with me bread and wine! Mi ha chiesto: perchè mi inviti ad essere tuo ospite? Ma io l'ho solo pregato: vieni nella mia casa!
Tutto quello che veniva dal cielo e dalla terra gridava a lui.
Mi guardava e il mezzogiorno dei suoi occhi riposava su di me. E parlava: tu hai molti amanti, Miriam, ma solo io ti amo. Gli altri uomini cercano se stessi amando te. Io amo te solo per te stessa. Gli altri vedono in te solo una bellezza che passa più velocemente dei suoi anni. Ma io vedo in te una bellezza che non sfiorirà mai. E ancora nell'autunno dei suoi anni non avrà da temere a guardarsi allo specchio, perchè non verrà umiliata. Io solo amo ciò che è in te e che non si vede.
Mi ha guardata and he said, smiling all the men you love to own, but I love you for you. And walked away. No man moved like him. It was a morning wind that is born in my garden, and shifted to the east, or was a storm that has shaken the very foundations of all things: I do not know. But that day dawn in his eyes he killed the dragon in me. I became a wild woman, I became Miriam, Miriam of Magdala "
Khalil Gibran - Jesus the Son of God
