Lord of Light


His speech (Nafakurure)

Your rise is good on the horizon of the sky the living light
You are the beginning of life
Risen again on the eastern horizon, you filled the whole earth with your goodness,
You are visible again, great again, close again
Standing again over every land.
Your rays encompass the end of the lands, you saw each of them

Pierre Nillon, Prière et enseignements pharaoniques de Nafakurure, 2016, pp. 273-4

Economics of Nature or The Great Hymn to the Aton

(…)
When you set on the western horizon,
The universe (is) in the darkness in the manner of the death.
They are sleeping (the men) in the rooms, heads covered
And no eye sees the other one    (…)
