Truth and Happiness and Reason
Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting
That there is no god.
In the faith that looks through death
They neither speak nor call to each other.
Urged by this view, I refused;
I awakened to reason!
I shall die, and what I feel be no longer felt.
Dead silence
A wise man sees not the same tree that a fool sees.
And in this condition I must find my happiness.
