And man, if you whisper to Him, whispers back.

A thing that fulfills his needs.

So you see only a mixture.

Patience is the noblest result.

Of its ally, righteousness, with a crown.

In every direction, lamps.

Or split hypocrisy at times.

Wants only winds and darkness.

9. Be gentle, your life is a green branch
I saw crookedness in.

Even if its convulsion is slight.

11. Make your ascent rejection
Of what you found crooked.

12. O Lord of lightning I sensed
Whose idea came back confused.

13. Many a sweet that after sweetness
Became bitter, effervescent.

Became, when old, coarse morals.

Making ways out of passes.

16. Don't fret from the narrowness of a day,
It will have an outlet.

17. Who suffers from something to something
Will find relief.
