62. Ecce Homo. Yes! I know whence I come! Unsated like the flame, I glow and consume myself. Light becomes all that I grasp, Coal all that I leave: Flame I certainly am.

62. Ecce homo. Oui ! Je sais d’où je viens ! Insatiable comme la flamme, je brûle et me consume. Tout ce que je saisis devient lumière, tout ce que je laisse devient charbon : je suis assurément flamme.
