Note 15 — Chapter V · THE MARTIAN CYCLE
Daniel B. Vermilye translation
“Do not think that in loving you as a tender brother I shall tell you all the profound mysteries of heaven; I shall help you much, I shall open for you the way, But it is for you to seize and seek with joy; And when you shall see her released from here below, When her mobile soul shall have taken flight And shall soar over Mars with its brilliant tints; If you would obtain from her some light, Place your hand very gently on her pale forehead And pronounce very softly the sweet name of Esenale!”
