Chapter 29

He whom I enclose with my name is weeping in this dungeon¹. I am ever busy building this wall all around; and as this wall goes up into the sky day by day I lose sight of my true being in its dark shadow.
 
I take pride in this great wall, and I plaster it with dust and sand lest a least hole should be left in this name; and for all the care I take I lose sight of my true being.
 
被我用我的名字囚禁起来的那个人，在监牢中哭泣．我每天不停地筑著围墙；当这道围墙高起接天的时候，我的真我便被高墙的黑影遮断不见了。
 
我以这道高墙自豪，我用沙土把它抹严，唯恐在这名字上还留著一丝罅隙，我煞费了苦心，我也看不见了真我．
