"I fell apart, I was attracted to inanimate things, to nature, which fascinates and moves me, to music, which for me is quintessential love, to thinking, which is the delicacy of the spirit, to everything that is pleasant and beautiful in the world. Then I met this creature, who took my somewhat hesitant, changeable desires together, turned them all towards himself, and turned them into love.

I fell apart, I was attracted to inanimate things, to nature, which fascinates and moves me, to music, which for me is quintessential love, to thinking, which is the delicacy of the spirit, to everything that is pleasant and beautiful in the world. Then I met this creature, who took my somewhat hesitant, changeable desires together, turned them all towards himself, and turned them into love.
""Szétforgácsolódtam, élettelen dolgokhoz vonzódtam, a természethez, amely engem bűvöletbe ejt és meghat, a zenéhez, amely nekem az átlényegült szerelem, a gondolkodáshoz, amely a szellem ínyencsége, mindahhoz, ami csak kellemes és szép a világon. Azután összetalálkoztam ezzel a teremtéssel, aki összefogta kicsit tétova, változékony vágyaimat, valamennyit önmaga felé fordította, és szerelemmé változtatta."
