Back then, inexperienced,
And more modest than I am today
I had the highest regards
For others.
Later, out there in the pasture
I met calves other than me
And now appreciate, so to speak,
First myself.
(My translation of "Früher, da ich unerfahren", a poem by Wilhelm Busch in Criticism of the Heart, 1874)
