I have separated from the people of the intellect
to join the companions of love.
When love’s legend reached my ears
I recited a requiem for myself.
When love’s banner was raised up
intellect’s standard was cast down.
Truth arrived and falsehood departed.
Love arrived and the intellect was overthrown.
Love came to reign over the heart’s realm
and intellect, feeling ashamed, gave up its boastful claim.
