185. К Исихию
Machine translation from the original · Show original
What is this? You love us so dearly (we know this, because a passionate lover cannot hide from his beloved), and you do not deign us to write a letter - you allow yourself to cover your love with silence! What is the reason? I can’t say; Your job is to break the silence and explain its reason. We are the first to write now to your nobility, precisely so that in the future you will not be able to refer to this as an apology. Write to us constantly, dear and noble ruler, and fulfill our desire. Having been captivated by one rumor about you and by one rumor attached to your nobility, we are then unable to either remain silent ourselves or allow you to remain silent, and we will never leave you alone until you begin to write to us often and constantly, with frequent correspondence replacing for us the pleasure of your personal presence.
The paragraphs in the text were arranged by us. – Editorial staff of “ABC of Faith”
