It is old...But, do you know, when you have once grasped it clearly, everything becomes so insignificant! I consider my ideas very important, yet they too turn out to be insignificant - and would be, even if it were as possible to carry them out as it was to surround this bear. And so one passes one's life finding distraction in hunting or in work, merely not to think of death.
