An individual human life should be like a river: small at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past rocks and waterfalls. Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in the sea, and painlessly lose their individual being. | A vida humana individual deve ser como um rio: pequeno a princípio, estreitamente contido em suas margens e correndo apaixonadamente por rochas e cascatas. Aos poucos, o rio se alarga, as margens recuam, as águas fluem mais silenciosamente e, no final, sem nenhuma ruptura visível, elas se fundem no mar e perdem sem dor sua existência individual. |
