LII.
To the mountains I say:
"How sweet is your fragrance!
How sweet is your fragrance,
your whole interior full of splendor!"


Thereupon they say:
"There is no back or stirring
in the man who has passed between us.
Not in him is back and stirring,
not in him is any need.
The man who passed between us
left behind from his planting among us.
By questions and words
the wicked hold on to their planting.
Not by questions and words
the planting of life is held fast,
but with truthfulness and faith
the chosen ones hold on to their planting.
Anyone who holds on to his planting and stands firm
is lifted up and supported on life.
For the one who does not hold on to his planting and stand by it,
the dispute is settled from there.
One settles his quarrel from there,
and he becomes a part of the world.


And life is victorious.
