He who lives in despair / takes and gives in vain.
The New Year has come to us. / God be blessed for it.
I wish to devote all my time / To noble thoughts about great Love.
The soul who is most untouched is the most like to God.
What use is it for me to force my nature? / For my nature shall always remain / What it is and conquer what belongs to it, / However men may narrow its path.
Despair makes us serve evil as much as good.
