1. My mind beats on
2. A thirst, a leaping, wild unrest, a deep desire
3. Should I give up the fruitless struggle with the word?
4. So be it
5. What lies in wait for me here?
6. My head is heavy, my eyelids ache
7. I must go elsewhere, I must find a clearer sky, a fresher air
8. How much better to live, not words but beauty, to exist in it, and of it
9. The power of beauty sets me free
