I evighetens perspektiv er øyeblikket som et liv... --- In the perspective of eternity, the moment is like a life ... ---In der ewigen Natur des Augenblicks als ein Leben ... ---Dans la nature éternelle du moment comme la vie ... --- En la naturaleza eterna del momento como una vida ...

I don't sing of night,
   since in my song
The sun I sing of will end in night.
   I'm aware of all I forget.
   I sing to forget it.
Could I only stop, even id in a dream,
The course of Apollo and know myself,
   Even if mad, as the twin
   Of an imperishable hour !
