176. Passion
When passion comes and takes you from behind,
what can you do? You have no other choice but to succumb
to its relentless wildness, darkness, terror and destruction
and must be the victim of your own emotions
overwhelming you with hopelessness and no escape,
no possibility for any shadow of defence;
for passion is the ultimate manifestation of the darkest force of nature
in her greatest irresistibility and her omnipotence,
her majesty and dreadfulness of silence like of death.
And yet, in this black hole of hopelessness there is a kind of life
more tough in its expansion than the most victorious sperm,
triumphant in its life and glorious in outbreak.
So what can we do about the force of passion?
There is nothing else to do but just the best of it.
