Alone, as before, in the universe
Without hope and without love!..

The Demon (1830)

I want to reconcile myself with heaven,
I want to love, I want to pray,
I want to believe in good.

The Demon (1830)

And everything that he saw before him
He despised or hated.

The Demon (1830)

What is this eternity to me without you?
What is the infinity of my domains?
Empty ringing words,
A spacious temple — without a divinity!

The Demon (1830)
