Amichai, "Like One Who Left Egypt" (trans. Steve Sager)

What is the continuity of my life. I am like one who left Egypt

With the Red Sea split in two and I passing through on dry ground

With two walls of water on my right and on my left.

Behind me Pharaoh’s force and his chariots and before me the wilderness

and perhaps the promised land. This is the continuity of my life.
