and had never hoped to be mistaken, misunderstood.

and have revered my labour by her refference.
I would shudder, had she on my life in Hades said nothing.
No one could imagine that I'm living here thousand lifes,
...

Erred alone in mountain wilderness.
He did not deigned any accompany by his side.
Upon the calm waters his eyes used to see
only his own facial shape
