Although occasionally the experience lasts for a certain length of time, it goes and comes again; it is, in short, never permanent, and for that reason it never completely enkindles the soul; for, just as the soul is about to become enkindled, the spark dies, and leaves the soul yearning once again to suffer that loving pain of which it is the cause.

I, tot i que algunes vegades dura bastant, va i ve; en fi, no és permanent, i per això l’ànima no s’acaba d’abrusar, sinó que, quan ja està a punt d’encendre’s, l’espurna mor i ella es queda amb el desig de tornar a patir aquell dolor amorós que li causa.
