I, a most wretched Atlas, the huge world.<br />

The whole huge world of sorrow I must carry.<br />

Yea, the unbearable must bear, though meanwhile<br />

J^y heart break in my bosom.<br />

Thou haughty heart, thyself hast willed it thus.<br />

Thou would'st be happy, infinitely happy,<br />

Or infinitely wretched, haughty heart!<br />

And lo! now art thou wretched.<br />
