Transcript: “You can hold yourself back And should the Angel come this night from the sufferings of the world, I am to wait, I do not doubt I am to meet you again," “I am not to speak to you, I am to think of you when I sit alone or wake at night alone, Dreams will help you not at all.” To fetch your soul away from light, “If you want me again look for me under your boot soles.” and it accords with your nature, that is something you are free to do "It certainly was not my intention to make you suffer, yet I have done so; obviously it never will be my intention to make you suffer, yet I shall always do so."

She is beautiful.”
