Blessed sister, holy mother, spirit of the fountain, spirit of the garden, Suffer us not to mock ourselves with falsehood Teach us to care and not to care

What happens is a continual surrender of himself as he is at the moment to something which is more valuable. The progress of an artist is a continual self-sacrifice, a continual extinction of personality.

Because I do not hope to turn again
Because I do not hope
Because I do not hope to turn

Why should I mourn
The vanished power of the usual reign?
