Yes, it is beautiful.  The Hatasoe is beautiful too.  Inspires a draqa
translation:

eh -> /@/ ehi -> /@i/ a -> /&/ e -> /E/
x -> /S/  fw -> /hF/ g -> /N/
capitalized vowels (I, E, A, EH, O, U, R) are high-pitched.

Ea sehixael dan fweacor:
a swEHerbuatoi he yog:
a sehipIo dan pEapahwa kwiha,
he feasbakwai orhwUunoixan:

Ea - "I know from personal (internal) experience"
a - "(I am) presenting this as fact"
dan - with regards to, about, concerning, as far as
he - and (provides more info about the preceeding clause)

Ea sehi+xael dan fweacor
-- not +waiting with-regards-to display/showing

a swEHer+bua+toi he yog
-- high-intensity +joy/good +active-wholistic-experience and
(it is) something-that-is-happening-right-now

a sehi+pIo dan pEapahwa kwiha
-- not +(reasonable)fear with-regards-to evil something-not-yet-happened

he feas+ba+kwai or+hwUunoi+xan
and other +the +thing(pronominal) at +fascination +my

Note:
pEapahwa means 'evil', but there is no oppossing 'good'. Outside of
'evil', there is just the assumed norm.  Thus the choice of feasbakwai
'the other(s)' i.e. 'other than evil'.  The 'good' meaning of 'bua' is the
subjective disctinction b/w 'good/bad' (desirable/undesirable).  To the
draqa 'evil' is objective.  Most of draqa thought is not dualistic, and
there is not even a concept for opposite (things can be decsribed as
mathematically inverse, or complementary).  pEapahwa is more like a
singular point outside the norm.  Another word which could replace
'feasbakwai' would be 'soko(ba)' (something of high quality).
