我的旅程时光是长的，旅程路途也是长的。
天刚微亮我就踏上战车，开启我的旅行，穿越世界荒野，在许多恒星行星上都留下了足迹。
离你最近的地方，路途最远；纯粹简单的曲调，得来最难。
旅客必须敲开每个异乡人的门，才能找到他自己的；旅客必须游荡所有外部世界，才能最终抵达内心最深处的那个。
我的双眼曾游离四方，直到我合上双眼并说：“原来你在这里！”。
“喂，在哪里？”的这个疑问与呼唤融化成千条泪河，与确信“我在”的洪水一起淹没了整个世界。

The time that my journey takes is long and the way of it long.
I came out on the chariot of the first gleam of light, and pursued my voyage through the wildernesses of worlds leaving my track on many a star and planet.
It is the most distant course that comes nearest to thyself, and that training is the most intricate which leads to the utter simplicity of a tune.
The traveller has to knock at every alien door to come to his own, and one has to wander through all the outer worlds to reach the innermost shrine at the end.
My eyes strayed far and wide before I shut them and said “Here art thou!”
The question and the cry “Oh, where?” melt into tears of a thousand streams and deluge the world with the flood of the assurance “I am!”
