(Ghar il-Kbir ((Malta11/2001))
Advance: of most places Ive traveled in the world [683,000-miles throughout], Malta has been for the most part, always on my top-ten list, of all-round places to go. It has a ting of everything. Ghar Dalam, otherwise known as the Cave of Darkness, was used for habitation by prehistoric man, 5000 BC, and animals, and thereafter. There have been found human bones and teeth in the cave, as well as a gathering of animal bones from time immemorial. There also is a legend of a sea creature that surfaced and seemed to live within this area (in the 17th century). I had written a trilogy of the Tiamat. In one of the books I used this cave [not in name] as a backdrop for the story. It is huge, and quite the picture for a living environment. In l729, there was an engraving done of the cave life in Ghar il-Kbir, published in Vol. 62. No 72, in La Galerie of which 66-volums are combined. The point being, the engraving is attributed to Pieter Van der Aa, 1712, and Ive seen this engraving, it had to be done on site, thus the artist saw the small group of people perhaps that remained in the cave. The etching is fanciful, thus Id think he perked it up, for whatever reasons. It seems to me he made the cave larger in the picture. Although the cave is large with sections; larger and smaller caverns attached to it. The faces on the folks within the engraving are flat, no smiles etc. As I had checked this out further, I had found conceivably there was a group of folks living in the cave between 1665 and 1680 AD. But the record is not vivid by any mean; and having said all this, here is my little poem to go along with this over zealous Advance:
The Poem:
I could get no fit ideaof the
Proportion of the cave, merely
By the patch of light from my
Flashlight
I was surrounded by limestone
And I felt a disadvantagea few
More feet within the cave the roof
Began to rise
A gentle slopethen suddenly.
My eyes had become adjusted
To the caves darknessthe oily
Glaring walls around me; cautiously
I descended
The floor of the cave became
Nearly level, but the tide of dark
Shadows came afresh, unnoticed by
Others

Avance: de la mayor parte de sitios que he viajado en el mundo [683,000 millas a travs de todas partes], Malta ha estado principalmente, siempre en la lista de las diez primeras, de sitios caprichosos para ir. Esto tiene un descubrimiento de todo. Ghar Dalam, conocida de otra manera como La Cueva de Oscuridad, fue usada para vivienda por el hombre prehistrico, 5000 aos antes de Cristo, y a partir de entonces usada por animales. All en la cueva han sido encontrados huesos humanos y dientes, as como un monton de huesos de animales de tiempos inmemoriales All tambin hay una leyenda de una criatura del mar que sali a la superficie y pareca vivir dentro de esta rea (en el siglo XVII).
Yo haba escrito una triloga del Tiamat. En uno de estos libros us esta cueva [no en el nombre] como un fondo para la historia. Esto es grandioso y casi un cuadro de vida del medio ambiente. En l729, haba un grabado hecho, de la vida de cueva en Ghar il-Kbir, publicado en Vol. 62. El No 72, en " La Galera del cual 66-volums son combinados. El punto es, que el grabado es atribuido a Pieter der Aa, 1712, y he visto este grabado, tuvo que haber sido hecho sobre el sitio, aunque el artista vio al pequeo grupo de gente que quizs permanecieron en la cueva. La estampa es imaginaria, aunque yo pensara que l se anim, por cualquier motivo. Me parece l hizo la cueva ms grande en el cuadro. Aunque la cueva sea grande con secciones; cavernas ms grandes y ms pequeas unidas a ello. Las caras de la gente dentro del grabado son planas, sin sonrisas etc. Como yo haba chequeado esto mas minuciosamente, haba encontrado que evidentemente haba un grupo de gente que vivi en la cueva entre 1665 y 1680 antes de Cristo. Pero esto no esta registrado por algn motivo; y habiendo dicho todo esto, aqu est mi pequeo poema para acompaar esto sobre este Avance entusiasta:
El Poema:
Yo podra, no tener idea suficiente - de la
Proporcin de la cueva, simplemente
Por el pedazo de luz de mi
Linterna
Fui rodeado por la piedra caliza
Y sent una desventaja- un poco
Ms pies dentro de la cueva el techo
Comenz a elevarse
Una subida apacible - entonces de repente-.
Mis ojos se haban acostumbrado
A la oscuridad de las cuevas el aceitoso
Evidente de las paredes rodendome; cautelosamente
Descend
-El piso de la cueva se hizo
Casi el nivel, -Pero la marea de Sombras
Oscuras vino de nuevo, Inadvertido por Otros
Pero penetrandohacia m.
Algo, hace mucho haba vivido aqu,
Vivido en esta magnfica gruta-;
Mis tesoros estaban en: quienes eran ellos!.
Y luego vino los huesos!...
Huesos, huesos masivos; por todas partes
