Literature Extract °
Sadi, was handsome ;
but disdain, the most awful disease of the soul, enchained his heart.
The universal admiration excited by his external perfections fueled his pride ;
he believed his spirit incomparable and superior in everything, as well as his beauty.
Intoxicated with the feeling of his visible and mental advantages, he entered the forest ...
... he walked for a long time and laboriously ;
finally he found a tomb covered with moss.
. . .
" Below lie, in the arms of death, two sisters.
The immortals accorded to the elder divine charms ;
the sad ugliness was the share of the youngest.
Passerby,
lift this stone up, and you will convince yourself of the truth of these words."
. . .
Two scarecrows which the contact of the air reduced to dust,
that was Sadi saw at the bottom of the monument.
And from the bosom of the Earth he heard a muffled voice, saying to him :
« ... Look : it is the dissolution waiting for you.
Become wise !
Only the beauty of the soul is indestructible. »
Sadi, or the corrected vanity.
