I am fairly certain that this cannot be translated into Gevey, mainly
because the language does not have a word for "soul" [this is
deliberate on my part, if only to make the poetry more tolerable than
Hallmark. For similar reasons, uhne (ye uhn) "heart" is used for the
organ, and has nothing to do with emotions. Emotions, in Gevey, reside
alongside the senses]
