A raindrop, dripping from a cloud,
/ Was ashamed when it saw the sea.
/ "Who am I where there is a sea?" it said.
/ When it saw itself with the eye of humility,
/ A shell nurtured it in its embrace.
/ Was ashamed when it saw the sea.
/ "Who am I where there is a sea?" it said.
/ When it saw itself with the eye of humility,
/ A shell nurtured it in its embrace.
-Saadi of Shiraz (c. 1200 AD)
