Translation (Une Semaine de Bonte)

By Max Ernst 

In the beginning 

mid day on the kings street a woman draped in black clothing enchants a rooster as it stands on a crystal ball.  

The rooster has birthed a larger form and stands over the woman who once enchanted him. 

the mysterious rooster figure enters a chamber of the dead and is greeted by another woman and another creature stricken with legs and a torso, the three of them remove a cloth to show a woman's body in a coffin. 

the two animal beings remove the woman from her tomb and a tree emerges from  its place the animals watch in amazement

a murder or sickness has struck in the rooster home 

the roosters retreat to their hide out leaving the woman's body hanging by her coat sleeve.
