" I would achieve the best destiny, if not this illness!
I would conclude all world in embraces!
My youth, - yes, I feel it, - she only begins.
Away rest! ... Everyone should see me happy,
it how many is given to me here, on the Earth ...
I shall seize destiny across a throat.
She cannot bend me finally.
Oh, it's fine to live one thousand lives! "
