Brute force crushes many plants. Yet the plants rise again. The Pyramids will not last a moment compared with the daisy. And before Buddha or Jesus spoke the nightingale sang, and long after the words of Jesus and Buddha are gone into oblivion the nightingale still will sing. Because it is neither preaching nor commanding nor urging. It is just singing. And in the beginning was not a Word, but a chirrup.

    rohe Gewalt vernichtet viele Pflanzen. doch die Pflanzen steigen wieder auf. Die Pyramiden werden im Vergleich zum Gänseblümchen keinen Moment dauern. und bevor Buddha oder Jesus sprach, sang die Nachtigall, und lange nachdem die Worte von Jesus und Buddha in Vergessenheit geraten sind, singt der Nachtigall noch. weil es weder predigt noch befiehlt noch drängt. es singt nur. und am Anfang war kein Wort, sondern ein Chirrup.
