Is it not horrible? But our life,

Spreading a feast, stuffs itself with a banquet of crawling maggots

Till, like a dog who vomits worms and morsels of meat,

The loaded belly revolts and disgorges it all on the table!

I long for happiness!

But I am like a man beneath the earth in a cell no sound can enter.

Who will open the door? Who will descend into the blackness of my dungeon, bearing in his hand the yellow flame?

Simon: I also lie in that secret place.

I shall arise and burst open the door and I shall appear before men!

Ah! Ah!
