I shall not see its gates Lord, nor hear your sweet words of salvation.[…]
I know myself for what I am and I throw my pour soul upon your forgiveness in the full knowledge that I deserve none.
Lord, […] If I wanted forgiveness, I should ask for it, but for all I have done and for all I am yet to do there can be no forgiveness. And yet I think I am not an evil man, for evil men pray louder, seek penance and think themselves closer to Heaven than I am.
