Pyramus and Thisbe
نص القصة المصورة
- الانزلاق: 1
- The house of Pyramus and that of Thisbe stood side by side within the mighty city ringed by the tall brick walls Semíramis had built—so we are told. If you searched all 5 the East, you’d find no girl with greater charm than Thisbe; and no boy in Babylon was handsomer than Pyramus. They owed their first encounters to their living close beside each other—but with time, love grows.
- الانزلاق: 2
- Theirs did—indeed they wanted to be wed, but marriage was forbidden by their parents: yet there’s one thing that parents can’t prevent: the flame of love that burned in both of them. They had no confidant—and so used signs: with these each lover read the other’s mind: when covered, fire acquires still more force.
- الانزلاق: 3
- O jealous wall, why do you block our path?
- The wall their houses shared had one thin crack, which formed when they were built and then was left; in all these years, no one had seen that cleft; but lovers will discover everything: you were the first to find it, and you made that cleft a passageway which speech could take. For there the least of whispers was kept safe: it crossed that cleft with words of tenderness.
- الانزلاق: 4
- Those two devised this plan: they’d circumvent their guardians’ watchful eyes and, cloaked by night, in silence, slip out from their homes and reach a site outside the city. Lest each lose the other as they wandered separately across the open fields, they were to meet at Ninus’ tomb and hide beneath a tree in darkness; for beside that tomb there stood a tall mulberry close to a cool spring, a tree well weighted down with snow-white berries.
