Kalidasa

Bhartrihari. The Century of Life

On Fools and Folly

A Little Knowledge

When I was with a little knowledge cursed,

Like a mad elephant I stormed about

And thought myself all-knowing. But when deep-versed

Rich minds some portion of their wealth disbursed

My poverty to raise, then for a lout

And dunce I knew myself, and the insolence went

Out from me like a fever violent.
