“A través de los siglos, el incendio de nuestras vidas
Permanece en el fuego eterno como la memoria de los muertos En la vida de los vivos, pero deja que la muerte
Viva su muerte, que morir al fin es cosa de los muertos
¡Dios mío, qué solos se quedan los muertos!
Todos sabemos, hay vida antes de la muerte; después, un sueño eterno.

Para despertar en un sueño, basta abrir los ojos.
Lejos, aquí siempre en este mundo
La única arma contra la muerte es el amor,
El amor a la vida es la vida eterna.”
