Are you the new person drawn
toward me?
To begin with, take warning,
I am surely far different from what you suppose;
Do you suppose you will find
in me your ideal?
Do you think it so easy to
have me become your lover?
Do you think the friendship
of me would be unalloy’d satisfaction?
Do you think I am trusty and
faithful?
Do you see no further than
this façade, this smooth and tolerant manner of me?
Do you suppose yourself
advancing on real ground toward a real heroic man?
Have you no thought, O
dreamer, that it may be all maya, illusion?
