In every company I uttered my wailful notes,
I consorted with the unhappy
and with them that rejoice.

Every one became my friend from his own opinion;
none sought out my secrets from within me.

My secret is not far from my plaint,
but ear and eye lack the light (whereby it should be apprehended).

Body is not veiled from soul,
nor soul from body,
yet none is permitted to see the soul.
