THE COQUETTISH IDOL

I sometimes pass by your abode knave-like, Hoping to glance at you out of my eyes corner.

THE CUP OF ANNIHILATION

As far as there is in the world the trace of you, As far as there is in the heaven the sound of your voice

FREE FROM THE WORLDFREE FROM THE WORLD

THE BELOVED’S COQUETRY

Except the abode of the beloved nowhere I have, Except the soil of your door no desire there is in my mind.
