None but the lonely heart
knows what I suffer!
Alone and parted
from all joy,
I see the firmament
in that direction.

Alas, who loves and knows me
is far away.
I'm dizzy, it burns
my entrails.
None but the lonely heart
knows what I suffer.

“Such a duality as cause and effect probably doesn’t exist. In truth, we are confronted by a continuum out of which we isolate a couple of pieces, just as we perceive motion only as isolated points and then infer it without ever actually seeing it. The suddenness with which many effects stand out misleads us.”

“Man has been educated by his errors.”

The closer we come to the danger, the more brightly do the ways into the saving power begin to shine and the more questioningly we become.
