Human beings are born into this little span of life of which the best thing is its friendship and intimacies, and soon their places will know them no more, and yet they leave their friendships and intimacies with no cultivation, to grow as they will by the roadside, expecting them to "keep" by force of inertia.

    люди рождаются в этот короткий отрезок жизни, лучшее в которой — это дружба и близость, и вскоре их места уже не будут знать их, и все же они оставляют свою дружбу и близость без развития, чтобы расти, как им заблагорассудится, с помощью обочины, ожидая, что они «удержатся» по инерции.
