- Because I do not hope to turn again
- Because I do not hope
- Because I do not hope to turn
-
- Because I know that time is always time
- And place is always and only place
- And what is actual is actual only for one time
- And only for one place
-
- I rejoice that things are as they are and
- I renounce the blessed face
- And renounce the voice
- Because I cannot hope to turn again
-
- Consequently I rejoice, having to construct something
- Upon which to rejoice
- Reconstruct.
