"Supreme star of being! Tablet of eternal forms! You come towards me? — Why hasn't anyone beheld Your mute beauty — Why doesn't it escape my gaze?Sign of necessity! Tablet of eternal forms! — But of course you know it: What everyone hates, What I alone love, That you are eternal! That you are necessary! My love is ever ignited Only through necessity.Sign of necessity! Supreme star of being! — That no desire attains, That no No desecrates, Eternal Yes of being, Eternally I am your Yes: For I love you, O eternity! — —"
