AND OF THE FUTURE LET US BE SILENT, FOR IT ONLY FOLLOWS FROM WHAT IS AND WHAT WAS

Let's not talk of the things that were and are no more;

for what we have is lesser than what we lost; and what

we lost we lost through our misfortune wrought

with many a misdeed - let's not talk of those things,

what was and what could have grown out of them.

And let's not talk of what we have left, for it's a bitter

thing to take account of ruins, as the mind always

builds the ruins up to their lost splendour only to

hurt us more. So let's be silent.
