Now I Am An Outcast.

What An Old Maid I'm Getting To Be. Lacking The Courage To Be In Love With Death!

And I Am Still Alive-what Though, My Damnation Is Eternal. A Man Who Deliberately Mutilates Himself Is Truly Damned, Is He Not? I Believe That I Am In Hell, Therefore I Am.

O Witches, O Misery, O Hate, To You Has My Treasure Been Entrusted! I Contrived To Purge My Mind Of All Human Hope. On All Joy, To Strangle It, I Pounced With The Strength Of A Wild Beast. I Called To The Plagues To Smother Me In Blood, In Sand, Misfortune Was My God.

It Is Wrong To Say: I Think. One Ought To Say: I Am Thought. I Is Someone Else.

I Went Out Under The Sky, Muse! And I Was Your Vassal.
