"Or you live, freely, with frolicking senses, you fill yourself up on the breast of the ancient Mother Eve, there are some sublime joys, but there is no protection against impermanence; you live, like a mushroom in the forest, which blooms in beautiful colors today, but rots away tomorrow. Or you defend yourself , you close the workshop door on yourself to erect a monument to your fragrant life - but then life is resignation, and you are nothing but a carving knife, true, in the service of immortality, but you dry up, your freedom is lost, all the joy and fullness of life is gone."
