TRANSORANIAN PHILOSOPHY.
Make the round world thy Book of Examples!
Man and his mind are a study for sages:
He who would mount to the firmament tramples
Under his feet the experience of ages.
Man and his mind are a study for sages:
He who would mount to the firmament tramples
Under his feet the experience of ages.
Love what thou hast with a willing devotion!
Drink of the stream, if thou meet not the fountain!
Though the best pearls lie low in the ocean,
Gold is at hand in the mines of the mountain!
Drink of the stream, if thou meet not the fountain!
Though the best pearls lie low in the ocean,
Gold is at hand in the mines of the mountain!
