When the soul’s cares advance, one after another,
If the soul’s sorrows advance one after another
against you—and the unbearable comes to pass—
upon you, and what cannot be borne comes to pass,

then fight them with the lying promises of hope,
then fight them with false hopes,
for with them, war is deception.
for war, in their view, is deception.
