Without doubt I praise the wild excellence.

And here am I, budding among the ruins with only sorrow to bite on, as if weeping were a seed and I the earth's only furrow.

If nothing saves us from death, at least love should save us from life

When everything seems to be set to show me off as intelligent, the fool I always keep hidden takes over all that I say.

sometimes i get up at dawn, and even my soul is wet.

And that's why i have to go back to so many places there to find myself and constantly examine myself with no witness but the moon and then whistle with joy, ambling over rocks and clods of earth, with no task but to live, with no family but the road.

If suddenly you do not exist, If suddenly you are not living, I shall go on living. I do not dare, I do not dare to write it, if you die. I shall go on living.
