patience

be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart

and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms

and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue

do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you

because you would not be able to live them

and the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now

perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it,

live along some distant day into the answer
