"For me, there is only suffering.

I desire nothing else.

Suffering has been faithful to me, and it remains so even now.

Even when my soul wandered the bottom of the abyss,

Suffering always sat by my side and watched over me, so how could I resent it?

Oh, Suffering, since you will never leave me,

I have finally come to respect you.

I know you now.

I know that you are beautiful just by existing.

You resemble one who never left

the hearth of my poor heart.

My Suffering, you are more tender than a dearly beloved woman.

For I know that on the day I enter the place of death,

You will reach deep into my heart

and lie down peacefully with me."
