Kalidasa

Bhartrihari. The Century of Life

On Wisdom

The Narrow Way

Kind to be, yet immutably be just;

To find all baser act too hard to do, —

Yea, though not doing shatter our life to dust; —

Contempt that will not to the evil sue;

Not to the friend that's poor our need to state;

Baffled by fortune still erect to stand;

Being small to tread in footprints of the great;

Who for weak men such rugged path has planned,

Harder to tread than edge of this sharp brand?
