As is known, happiness is lighter than a feather,
But no one knows how to support it;
Calamity is heavier than the entire globe, and yet
No one knows how to avoid it. Give over!
Give over approaching men with the lessons
Of your merits and virtues. You are in peril!
You are in peril, hurrying on
Where you have marked out the ground
Against your progression. Avoid publicity!
Avoid publicity that your pathway
May not be injured. Pursue your course!
Pursue your course, now going backwards,
Now crookedly, that your feet may not be hurt!
