Chapter 93

I have got my leave. Bid me farewell, my brothers! I bow to you all and take my departure.
 
Here I give back the keys of my door---and I give up all claims to my house. I only ask for last kind words from you.
 
We were neighbours for long, but I received more than I could give. Now the day has dawned and the lamp that lit my dark corner is out. A summons¹ has come and I am ready for my journey.
 
我已经请了假．弟兄们，祝我一路平安罢！我向你们大家鞠了躬就启程了．
 
我把我门上的钥匙交还――我把房子的所有权都放弃了．我只请求你们最后的几句好话．
 
我们做过很久的邻居，但是我接受的多，给与的少．现在天已破晓，我黑暗屋角的灯光已灭．召命已来，我就准备启行了．
