A man of wisdom once sagely said,
“Fishing-stakes are used to catch fish,
But when the fish are gotten to the brim,
Immediately men forget the stakes.
Snares are employed to catch game,
But when the game is gotten in many,
The snares are quickly forgotten. Yes,
Words are employed to convey ideas,
But when the ideas are apprehended,
Men forget then the words as useless.”
Fain would I talk with such a man
Who has for certain forgotten all words.
Nevertheless, he who in any case
Knows that it is so, without knowing
Why it is so, is a blessed man or
Simply a narrow-minded, or both.
