El jilguero y el cisne |
“Shut up, you vociferous little bird
(said the Swan to the Goldfinch).
when you sing you provoke me, since you know
that the sweet melody of my voice
has never had equal among all the Birds?”
The Goldfinch repeated his tweets,
and the Swan continued. “What insolence!
Look how the little musician insults me!
If I sing I would not be able to insult him,
thanks to my great prudence.”
“If only you sang!
(Finally replied the little bird).
How could you not admire
with the rare cadences
that no one can assert to have heard you;
Even if they are more famous than I am?...”
The Swan wanted to sing, and gave a loud quack.
Big thing! Earning credit without science,
and losing when getting closer to experience.
Fame means nothing
if it does not correspond with actions.
