The Test


Those who learned to be truly human
found everything in being humble

while those who looked proudly from above
were pushed down the stairs.

A heart that must always feel superior
will one day lose its way.

What should be within leaks out...

A Poem by Yunus Emre (1240-1321)
The Drop that became the Sea, translated by Helminski and Algan (1989)
