    Help me feed my meglomania!

    Could I get something translated into as many languages as possible? A latin translation would be a big help!
    Its so totally a god-complex thing I'm indulging here and I we all know I'm at my most adorable when I'm at my most self-centred:

    "The Lord of Light"
    Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

    Remember to spell it megalomania next time, and noone will be able to stop you!



    Edit: D'oh! Overdid it slightly with the a's there.

                Amazing! A Finnish word that's actually recognizable!

                Assuming that herra isn't "light"..

                    Spanish: El Señor de la Luz


                    It seems to me there is a "proper" word for Lord, but everything I check says this is correct. I hate to argue with experts...
                    Don't know why. I do it daily here.

                              You might have a 'fast' cheat to this, StarChild ... "Lord of Light" is a title of a fairly famous book, by Roger Zelazny. Find a site that lists books published in multiple languages, and this will probably be on it, as it's probably published in quite a lot of languages

                              Could also be "Lords of Light", though I think it's singular in the title.
