“I too seemed destined to be a man of fortune once
and a wild wicked swath I cut, indulged my lust for violence,

just take in peace what gifts the gods will send.”

“The truth
has to be melted out of our stubborn lives
By suffering.
Nothing speaks the truth,
Nothing tells us how things really are,
Nothing forces us to know
What we do not what to know
Except pain.
And this is how the gods declare their love.
Truth comes with pain.”
