287. Lust an der Blindheit. - „Meine Gedanken, sagte der Wanderer zu seinem Schatten, sollen mir anzeigen, wo ich stehe: aber sie sollen mir nicht verrathen, wohin ich gehe. Ich liebe die Unwissenheit um die Zukunft und will nicht an der Ungeduld und dem Vorwegkosten verheissener Dinge zu Grunde gehen.“

287. Delight in Blindness. "My thoughts," said the wanderer to his shadow, "shall show me where I stand, but they shall not reveal where I am going. I love ignorance of the future and do not wish to perish from impatience and the premature savoring of promised things."

287. Plaisir de la cécité. - « Mes pensées, dit le voyageur à son ombre, doivent m’indiquer où je me tiens, mais elles ne doivent pas me révéler où je vais. J’aime l’ignorance de l’avenir et ne veux pas périr d’impatience ni de l’avant-goût des choses promises. »
