Goya! How long is your stay going to persist in this mortal inn,
Which seems sometimes at its tethers, and sometimes asserting forever.
How long are we going to fight like dogs over the bones,
As we know well the world and the dwellers therein too.(17)

If you want to escape your trait of egoism,
Be careful, these corporeal eyes are a hindrance in your way.
Behold without such vision, if you want to perceive.(18)
