"He who, joining educated literary society, aspires to become a great poet, must, at first, become a little child. He must sift the fabric of his soul. He must forget much of what, perhaps, until now was for him a foundation of his own superiority. His talents will be an obstacle for him.

He who, joining educated literary society, aspires to become a great poet, must, at first, become a little child. He must sift the fabric of his soul. He must forget much of what, perhaps, until now was for him a foundation of his own superiority. His talents will be an obstacle for him.
""Cine, aderând la societatea literară educată, aspiră să devină un mare poet, trebuie să se facă, la început, un copil mic. El trebuie să-și cearnă tesătura sufletului. El trebuie să uite mult din ceea ce, probabil, până în prezent, era pentru el o temelie a propriei superiorități. Talentele sale vor fi un obstacol pentru el."
