Klag ikke på stjernene over mangel på lyse punkter i ditt liv...---Do not complain about the stars because of the lack of bright points in your life ...Plainte non pas les étoiles du manque de points lumineux dans votre vie ..Beschweren nicht die Stars des Mangels an hellen Flecke in Ihrem Leben ....

If sometimes I say that flowers smile
And if I should say that rivers sing,
It's not because I think there are smiles in flowers
And songs in the rivers'flowing...
It's so I can help misguided men
Feel the truly existence of flowers and rivers.

Since I write for them to read me,
I sometimes stop
To the stupidity of their senses...
It isn't right, but I excuse myself,
Because I've only taken on this odious role,
An interpreter of nature,
Because there are men who don't grasp its language,
Which is no language at all.
