I am fated to journey hand in hand with my strange heroes and to survey the
surging immensity of life, to survey it through the laughter that all can see and through the tears unseen and unknown by anyone.
I shall laugh my bitter laugh.
What is amusing will turn into being gloomy, if you stand too long before it, and then God knows what ideas may not stray into the mind...
Since you are without end yourself, is it not within you that a boundless thought will be born?
What are you laughing at? You are laughing at yourselves!
And for a long time yet, led by some wondrous power, I am fated to journey hand in hand with my strange heroes and to survey the surging immensity of life, to survey it through the laughter that all can see and through the tears unseen and unknown by anyone.
Why do I constantly hear the echo of your mournful song as it is carried from the sea through your entire expanse?... And since you are without end yourself, is it not within you that a boundless thought will be born?
The more destruction there is everywhere, the more it shows the activity of town authorities.
What a dreary world we live in, gentlemen.
