Precarious validity
What do I care about what people think,
attentive flatteries and criticism,
misunderstandings of shortsightedness,
intolerant superficiality
and hasty violent unjust reactions?
Let them rave, who can't control themselves;
my only aspiration and ambition
is to stick to honesty and truth
in faithful loyalty of beauty,
that my only aim is to take care of
with my utter tenderness of worship.
Let my words and dreams remain
unknown to those who do not care,
as long as they remain available
to those who understand and love
and in their hearts are capable
of keeping up their souls' flames burning
for the only thing that really matters:
joys that last forever.
