The Power of Strength
Baal HaSulam
We find
qualitative power in strength,
As in lions and
leopards
Whose quality
of power of their strength,
Deters all
people from fighting them.
Whereas in others
We find power
and strength
Without any
quality at all, but
Rather quantity
alone,
Such as in
flies.
As a result of their multiplicity
No man will
fight them.
These wanderers
walk freely
In people's
homes
And on set
tables,
And people feel
weak
Compared to
them.
That is not so
With other
unwanted guests,
Such as field
flies, insects and the like,
Although their
force is of greater quality
Than that of
house flies.
People will not
rest or be at ease,
Until the last
one is driven out.
That is because
nature
Did not endow
them
With the force
of multiplicity,
Like flies.
