536The Heart asks Pleasure - first -
And then - Excuse from Pain -
And then - those little Anodynes
That deaden suffering -
And then - to go to sleep -
And then - if it should be
The will of its Inquisitor
The privilege to die -

937Ik fielde in Spjalten yn myn Geast -
As wie myn Brein midstroch -
Besocht noch om it - Naad foar Naad -
Te hechtsjen - mar omdoch.
De tins fan no, woe Ik ferbûn
Ha oan de tins fan niis -
Mar 't Keatling rekke sûnder Lûd -
As Kleaunen - yn 'e Tiis.

937I felt a Cleaving yn my Mind -
As if my Brain had split -
I tried to match it - Seam by Seam -
But could not make them fit.
The thought behind, I strove to join
Unto the thought before -
But Sequence ravelled out of Sound
Like Balls - upon a Floor.
