    And his/her name--Jerusalem.

The anxious passion for one perceived of Jerusalem grew on him, and it dominated
the third portion of his/her life. For a long time nothing could brake him/it;  goes
he is able, although he dies in I strive him/it. And he goes it did, and he dies it did in
I strive him/it. The news of its determination scattered through Spain, and
everywhere hands were contained out to brake him/it. But its heart illuminated
as the day of departure came. Its poems written to this point are full of hope
and full of the happy feeling. In Egypt, a definite attempt was made from
the Hebrews to hold him/it among them. But it was vain. Ahead in Jerusalem:
this was his thought. He remained in Egypt but short once, then him
passed to Tire and Damascus. To Damascus, of year 1140 or
in the proximities, he wrote the ode to Zion that its immortal name did, a
he/she hears in which he gave hole to the whole intense passion that filled his
soul. The following is of the rooms he took from this address to
Jerusalem:

    Thy soles and improves light;
    You the needest not the sun to have been shining for day,
    Neither moon and stars to illumine night thee.

    The house of king and throne of God the wert you,
    As it comes then it that time
    Do slaves fill the throne where he/she sat first king of thy?

    Oh! who will conduct me on
    To look for the stains where, in distant years far,
    The angels in their glory dawned on
    Messengers of Thy and clairvoyants?

    Oh! who will give me wings
    What I can fly away,
    And there, to rest from all of my vagabondages,
    Did The ruins of my heart among ruins of thy place?

      *       *       *       *      *

    The God desires thee for his/her residence-place
    Eternally, and it blesses
    It is him God you/he/she has chosen who for the grace
    Inside short of thy to remain.
    Felice is him that you/he/she looks, while drawing nearby,
