The human language is like a cracked kettle on which we beat out a tune for a dancing bear, when we hope with our music to move the stars.

    le langage humain est comme une bouilloire fêlée sur laquelle nous battons une mélodie pour un ours dansant, quand nous espérons avec notre musique faire bouger les étoiles.

    인간의 언어는 우리가 우리의 음악으로 별을 움직이기를 희망할 때 춤추는 곰을 위해 가락을 두드리는 금이 간 주전자와 같습니다.

    當我們希望用我們的音樂來移動星星時，人類的語言就像一個破裂的水壺，我們在那裡擊敗了一隻跳舞的熊。
