Never again will I weep
And wring my hands
And beat my head against the wall
Because
Me nolentem fata trahunt*
But
When I have had enough
I will arise
And go unto my Father
And I will say to Him:
Father, I have had enough.
*Because fate drags me, unwilling.” Me nolentum fata trahunt is a play on a line from the Roman Seneca: Ducunt volentem Fata, nolentem trahunt. This means “Fate leads the willing, and drags the unwilling”.
