" All this is noi, as I must say again
and again, to be attributed to a virtue, to a meri-
torious wish for moderation and simplicity; but

eager only for one thing, for which alone he musters,
and for which alone he hoards everything — time,
strength, love, interest.

Je vais vous
emporter
à travers l'épaisseur,
Compagnons de ma triste joie
A travers l'épaisseur de la terre et du roc,
A travers les amas confus de votre cendre,
Dans un palais aussi grand que moi, d'un seul bloc
Et qui n'est pas de pierre tendre;
Car il est fait avec l'universel Péché,
Et contient mon orgueil, ma douleur et ma gloire!
