XXXIII • drunk

should always be drunk. Everything here: the only problem. To not feel the horrible burden of Time which breaks your back and you
you bend down, you have to get drunk without respite.
But of what? With wine, poetry or virtue as you wish. But get drunk.
And if sometimes, on the steps of a building on the green grass of a ditch, in the bleak solitude of your room, you awaken
because the thrill is diminished or gone, ask the wind, stars, birds, all ' watch
to everything that flees, everything that moans, everything that flows, everything that sings, everything that speaks, ask what time it is, and the
wind, waves, stars, birds, the clock will answer: "It's time to get drunk! Not to be martyred slaves
of Time, get drunk, get drunk ever! With wine, poetry or virtue, anything you like.
