279. Die Menschen der tiefen Traurigkeit verrathen sich, wenn sie glücklich sind: sie haben eine Art, das Glück zu fassen, wie als ob sie es erdrücken und ersticken möchten, aus Eifersucht, - ach, sie wissen zu gut, dass es ihnen davonläuft!

279. People of profound sadness betray themselves when they are happy: they have a way of seizing happiness as though they wished to crush and suffocate it out of jealousy. Ah, they know all too well that it is running away from them!

279. Les hommes d’une profonde tristesse se trahissent lorsqu’ils sont heureux : ils ont une manière de saisir le bonheur comme s’ils voulaient l’écraser et l’étouffer, par jalousie, hélas, ils savent trop bien qu’il leur échappe !
