To be great, be whole;
exclude nothing, exaggerate nothing that is not you.
Be whole in everything. Put all you are
into the smallest thing you do.
So, in each lake, the moon shines with splendor
because it blooms up above.
Per essere grande, sii intero: non esagerare.
Non escludere niente di te.
Sii tutto in ogni cosa.
Metti quanto sei
nel minimo che fai.
Come la luna in ogni lago tutta
risplende, perchè in alto vive.
