Go on with this nothing,
moved only by your
love of God.
And let nothing interfere
with this therefore
but persevere in this
nothingness,
consciously desiring
that you may always
choose to possess
God through love,
whom no one can possess
through knowledge.
For myself I prefer to be lost
in this nowhere, wrestling
with this blind nothingness
than to like some great lord
travelling everywhere
and enjoying the world
as if he owned it.
