Do not accuse your fate of evil, for it is
Do not blame your fate for being
A mountain from which an echo answers your echo.
An echoing mountain returning your call.

The world is your mirror, and your deed an image
The world is your mirror, your action its image;
Within it—so what are the hideous and the beautiful?
So ugliness and beauty are not with it at all.
