    Der einzige Weg, die Versuchung loszuwerden, besteht darin, ihr nachzugeben. widersetze dich ihm und deine Seele wird krank vor Sehnsucht nach den Dingen, die sie sich selbst verboten hat.

    la seule façon de se débarrasser de la tentation est d'y céder. résistez-y, et votre âme tombe malade en aspirant aux choses qu'elle s'est interdite.
