I have scaled the peak and found no shelter in fame's bleak and barren height. Lead me, my Guide, before the light fades, into the valley of quiet where life's harvest mellows into golden wisdom.
我已登上顶峰,却在名声荒凉贫瘠的高处找不到庇护。向导啊,请在光消逝前,引我进入宁静的山谷,让生命的收获成熟为金色智慧。
— Rabindranath Tagore · Stray Birds, 321 (1916) —
