The flowering chocolate drink is foaming, Tobacco flowers…
““The flowering chocolate drink is foaming, Tobacco flowers are passed round, If my heart tastes them, I will be intoxicated… Listen, I am alone and tormented, May I not go to the place of the fleshless… Alone I must go, my own self shall become lost… I will go alone, My heart covered with flowers… Thus let it be, But let it be without violence!””
