The Letter of the Seven Brothers to the Seven Brothers
Dear seven brothers, we write you the truth, but the ocean between us makes the truth appear paler .
We are well-off over here: we have fuel to burn, we have salt for our bread, and as yet it is the old songs we are singing day and night; and fish, and birds, and rainbows we have too. But our Beauty meanders along all evil roads and talks as befits but a woman of the streets. She lives on the main avenue and makes us feel ashamed, us seven brothers .
We greet you and send you herewith three wild nuts weighing seven measures, a flask of oil, and two dried fishes .
Your seven brothers who write you the truth, but the ocean between us makes the truth appear paler .
