~Toward Adequate Simplicity~
A man swimming in the river against the current
Makes no progress. Nature and society have not
Designed that for which he strives. His exertion
Would succeed were he to attempt exploits which
Could bring prestige; he would resemble a man on horseback
In a battlefield whose enemies are defeated.
Or he could, pioneer, lead a shaggy deer
Beyond normal boundaries, indomitably,
From the known to the unknown come what may.
At last he and the deer might inhabit a green field
Surrounded by shrubberies, with a villa on the northeast side,
Content with the simple adequacy of their boon.
Striving and trying, fighting and leading, bring in
Their train mighty victory or homely reward.
