“Oh, how I wish that I and my body could now be parted,
I wish my love were not here! - a curious prayer for a lover.
Now my sorrow is sapping my strength. My life is almost
over. Its candle is guttering out in the prime of my
manhood.
Death will be easy to bear, since dying will cure my
heartache.
Better indeed if the one I love could have lived longer,
but now, two soulmates in one, we shall face our ending
together.”
― Metamorphoses
