Sin is dark and loves the dark, still hides from itself in gloom, and in the darkest hell is still itself the darkest hell and the severest woe.

Enjoyment stops where indolence begins.

Living jewels dropped unstained from heaven.

Sin is dark and loves the dark, still hides from itself in gloom, and in the darkest hell is still itself the darkest hell and the severest woe.

That bitter word, which closed all earthly friendships and finished every feast of love farewell!
