Every life is in many days, day after day.
We walk through ourselves, meeting robbers, ghosts,
giants, old men, young men, wives, widows,
brothers-in-love, but always meeting ourselves.

Sleep tight.
He wanted to cry quietly but not for himself:
for the words, so beautiful and sad, like music.

Ako baš ne možeš od svog života da učiniš
ono što hoćeš,
pokušaj bar da postigneš
ono što možeš: ne unižavaj ga
prečestim druženjem sa svetom,
silnim izlascima i razgovorima.
