“When it's over, I want to say: all my life
I was a bride married to amazement.
I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms.
When it is over, I don't want to wonder

I don't want to find myself sighing and frightened,
or full of argument.
I don't want to end up simply having visited this world.”
