I dreamed of Crusades, voyages of discovery that nobody had heard of, republics without histories, religious wars stamped out, revolutions in morals, movements of races and continents; I used to believe in every kind of magic. I began it as an investigation. I turned silences and nights into words. What was unutterable, I wrote down. I made the whirling world stand still.

Je est un autre. (I is someone else).

I believe that I am in hell, therefore I am there.

Oh! If only we were naked now, and free to watch our protruding parts align; To whisper - both of us - in ecstasy!

Whose hearts must I break? What lies must I maintain? - Through whose blood am I to wade ?

Idle youth, enslaved to everything; by being too sensitive I have wasted my life.

Come from forever, and you will go everywhere.
