From the trembling longing of the lover to be united with her beloved, from parting's anguish is born desire; and from desire hope's resistless strength. From hope comes that sudden hesitation, that timidity; then out of habit, yes, that someone is used to us, accustomed is born self-doubt, suspicion, and mistrust. And anxiety gives birth to a certain sort of mistake, one that creates a corrosive stubbornness. This stubbornness leads to infinite delusions, deceits, giving pause before noticing, allowing awareness of damage to be seen by you |
Nasce il desir da gran pena d'amore Et dal desir depende la speranza; Da la speranza un subito timore, Et dal timor sospetto, per usanza. Et dal sospetto nasce un certo errore; Dal certo error mala perseveranza. Perseveranza crea poi mille inganni Che mi fan tardo accorger di miei danni |
