Sol 5.6

  1. And a night whose dark depths drew close to me,

    to the same measure that its stars receded from me.

  2. Thus I did not spend the night counting the nights’ stars,

    nor do I call the nights to account for my cares.

  3. O Time, never suppose that the stars stand at

    a distance beyond my aspiration—I strive to attain them.

  4. They liken the nights to seas for us,

    but to my mind, the seas’ wonders lie within the nights’.
