I was struck dumb with these reflections, as one astonished, and had not a word to say—no, not to answer to myself, but rose up pensive and sad, walked back to my retreat, and went up over my wall, as if I had been going to bed; but my thoughts were sadly disturbed, and I had no inclination to sleep; so I sat down in my chair, and lighted my lamp, for it began to be dark.
Estas reflexiones me dejaron estupefacto, como atónito, y no sabía qué decir para responderme. Me levanté pensativo y triste y regresé a mi refugio y subí por mi muralla, como si fuera a irme a la cama pero mi espíritu estaba tristemente perturbado y no tenía sueño, así que me senté en mi silla y encendí mi lámpara, porque empezaba a oscurecer.
