In youth my wings were strong and tireless,
but I did not know the mountains.
In age I knew the mountains
but my weary wings could not follow my vision –
genius is wisdom and youth.
Da giovane le mie ali erano forti e instancabili
ma non conoscevo le montagne.
Da vecchio conoscevo le montagne,
ma le mie ali stanche non potevano
seguire la visione –
genio è saggezza e gioventù.
