"What is more fluid, more yielding than water? Yet back it comes again, wearing down the rigid strength Which cannot yield to withstand it. So it is that the strong are overcome by the weak, The haughty by the humble. This we know But never learn, So that when wise men tell us, 'He who bites the dust Is owner of the earth, He who is scapegoat Is king,' They seem to twist the truth."
