'Tis He Who Lives Within Our Forms

Both power and being are denied to us, The lack of both is what's ordained for us; But since 'tis He who lives within our forms, Both power and action are ascribed to us.

Your "self" is non-existent, knowing one! Deem not your actions by yourself are done; Make no wry faces at this wholesome truth-- "Build the wall ere the fresco is begun."

Why vaunt thy "self" before those jealous eyes? Why seek to deal in this false merchandise? Why feign to be existent of thyself? Down with these vain conceits and foolish lies!
