引言：

稟賦迥異，萬物各就其位；

倘若我不能將森林背負，你也無法將堅果打破。

The mountain and thesquirrel

——Ralph Waldo Emerson

The Mountain and the Squirrel

Had a quarrel;

And the Mountain called the Squirrel 'LittlePrig.'

Bunreplied,

You are doubtless very big;

But all sorts of things and weather

Must be taken in together,

To make up a year

And a sphere.

And

Think it nodisgrace

To occupy my place.

If I'm not so large as you,

You are not so small as I!

And not half so spry.

I'll not deny you make

A very pretty squirrel track;

Talents differ;

All is well and wisely put;

If I cannot carry forests on my back,

Neither can youcracka nut.
