50

Love, my heart longs day and night for the meeting with you——for the meeting that is like all-devouring death.

Sweep me away like a storm; take everything I have;break open my sleep and plunder my dreams. Rob me of my world.

In that devastation, in the utter nakedness of spirit, let us become one in beauty.

Alas for my vain desire! Where is this hope for union except in thee, my God?

爱人，我的心日夜盼望和你相见——那像吞噬一切死亡一样的会面。

像一阵风暴把我卷走，把我的一切都带走，劈开我的睡眠掠走我的梦。剥夺了我的世界。

在这毁灭里，在精神全部的裸露里，让我们在美中合一吧。

唉，我徒劳的渴望！除了在你里面，哪有这合一的希望呢，我的神？
