Daily Inspiration — Sisyphus Translates

The ecstasy of a drop is to annihilate itself into ocean
The pain going beyond bounds turns into its own panacea

To be annihilated in the sea
Is the delight of every drop
When pain exceeds the limit
It becomes its own remedy

Blessed is the drop
That loses itself in the sea;
Pain untold
Doth prove its own remedy

In how many translations is it clear that this is an aphorism about death?
