Heidenstam, Verner von: From "Thought in loneliness" (Ensamhetens tankar (detalj) in English)
Ensamhetens tankar (detalj) (Swedish)I. Där innerst i min ande bor en gnista; Hon gled mig undan, tärde och förbrände.

From "Thought in loneliness" (English)I.
I here is a spark dwells deep within my soul. To get it out into the daylight's glow Is my life's aim both first and last, the whole.
It slips away, it burns and tortures me. That little spark is all the wealth I know; That little spark is my life's misery.
