你，我心灵的女主人[1]，隐藏在我胸中最深的私密之中、隐藏在我最丰实的生命思考之中，一个与天堂和地狱相距同样遥远的地方，——不为人所知的神圣！哦，我真的能够相信诗人们的那些故事吗：当一个人第一次看到所爱的对象时，他相信自己在先前早就见过她；所有爱，正如所有知识，都是回忆；爱在单个的个体身上也有其各种预言、其各种类型、其各种神话、其旧约。在每一张女孩子的脸上，我都能看到你的美丽之痕迹，但我觉得，我不得不拥有所有女孩，以便从她们的全部美丽中就像是提取出你的美丽；我不得不航行整个地球，以便找到我所缺、但我整个自我的最深秘密作为极点暗示的那部分世界；——而下一瞬间，你是如此临近于我，如此存在于当场，如此有力地充实我的精神，以至于我在我自己面前变容，并觉得这里是适合于我在的好地方。你，情欲之爱的盲神！在暗中观察的你，你能为我给出启示吗？我是否能在这里，在这个世界上，找到我所寻求的东西，我是否能了知从所有我生活中的古怪前提中得出的结论，我是否能将你拥入我的双臂，——或者
这命令是在说继续吗？
你已经走在前面了吗，你，我的渴慕，你是否已然变容从另一个世界向我招手？哦，我愿意抛开一切，以便变得足够轻盈来跟随你。

You, Sovereign mistress of my heart [Added later: “Regina.”], hidden in the deepest privacy of my breast, in my most brimming thoughts on life, there, where it is just as far to heaven as to hell—unknown divinity! Oh, can I really believe the poets’ tales that when one sees the beloved for the first time one believes one has seen her long before; that all love, like all knowledge, is recollection; that love too has its prophecies, its types, its myths, its Old Testament in the single individual. Everywhere, in every girl’s face, I see a trace of your beauty, but it seems to me that I would have to have all girls in order to extract your beauty from all of theirs; that I’d have to circumnavigate the earth to find that continent which I lack, and that the deepest secrecy of my entire ‘I’ nevertheless points to it as its pole;—and in the next moment you are so near to me, so present, so powerfully making my spirit whole, that I am transfigured in my own eyes and feel that here is a good place to be.… You blind god of love! You who see in secret, will you tell me openly? Shall I find what I am seeking here in this world, shall I experience the conclusion of all my life’s eccentric premises, shall I enclose you in my arms—or
Does the order say: onward?
Have you gone ahead, you my longing; do you summon me, transfigured, from another world? Oh, I would cast everything aside to become light enough to follow you.
