As a horse when he has run, a dog when he has tracked the game, a bee when it has made the honey, so a man when he has done a good act, does not call out for others to come and see, but he goes on to another act, as a vine goes on to produce again the grapes in season. Marcus Aurelius, Meditations Итак, когда творишь милостыню, не труби перед собою, как делают лицемеры в синагогах и на улицах, чтобы прославляли их люди. Истинно говорю вам: они уже получают награду свою. У тебя же, когда творишь милостыню, пусть левая рука твоя не знает, что делает правая, чтобы милостыня твоя была втайне; и Отец твой, видящий тайное, воздаст тебе явно. (Мф.6:2-4) Rome — Accidents of Gesture Yes, for you were meant to be with me, here For we are built, trained, Conditioned to disappear We shall stay in the shadows In the meadows afire As thieves for hire And we shall remain invisible, for we travel light For we do not rush toward the light And we dance if we can with our eyes closed All along the borders All along the road And we shall make our movements lighter Like the boys on the wire To regain the joy and fierceness Of the essential man Cool out here, beside me Cool out in the sands of Spain Cool out and wash yourself in milk again
