“Lord, receive me, with all my lawlessness, and do not condemn me. Let me pass by Thy judgment… do not condemn me, for I have condemned myself, do not condemn me, for I love Thee, O Lord. I am a wretch, but I love Thee. If Thou sendest me to hell, I shall love Thee there, and from there I shall cry out that I love Thee for ever and ever… . But let me love to the end… . Here and now for just five hours… till the first light of Thy day… for I love the queen of my soul… I love her and I cannot help loving her. Thou seest my whole heart… I shall gallop up, I shall fall before her and say, 'You are right to pass on and leave me. Farewell and forget your victim… never fret yourself about me!”
