Bela Borsodi and "der kapital"

it is only the definite social relationships of men themselves,
which in their eyes takes on the phantasmagorial form of a relation between things.
In order, therefore, to find an analogy, we must have recourse to the mist-enveloped regions of the religious world.
In that world, the products of the human mind appear as independent beings endowed with life, as entering into independent relations both with one another and the human race.
The same way are in the world of commodities the products of men’s hands.
This I call the fetishism

Beachum & Leal

.

Bela! como um espelho esférico, polido,
aonde colos nus luzem palidamente.
Bela! como o sentir a seda dum vestido
arrastar, como arrasta a cauda de serpente.

Sophia

O gentle glitter of eternal beam!

With what a such whiteness did it flow,
O'erpowering vision in me! But so fair,
So passing lovely, Beatrice show'd,

Mind cannot follow it, nor words express
Her infinite sweetness. Thence mine eyes regain'd
Power to look up, and I beheld myself,

Sole with my lady, to more lofty bliss
Translated: for the star, with warmer smile
Impurpled, well denoted our ascent.
