Chapter 38 you hurried to the grave
you hurried to the grave
You hurried to the grave!What are you looking for?
With your restless will, your active mind,
And aimless minds at the service of the world?
Oh, your passionate heart, to pale hope
All the beautiful scenery pretended to be so fast!
And your curious spirit, guessing in vain
Where does life come from?Where are you going?
You need to know information that people don't know——
Alas, what are you longing for, in such a hurry
Through the green and lovely journey of life,
Avoid joy, avoid sorrow, but only
Seeking shelter in the dark caves of death?
Heart, mind and thoughts!What is it
Do you expect to inherit in the tomb under there?
