A little while and I will be gone from among you, whither I cannot tell. From nowhere we came, into nowhere we go. What is Life? It is a flash of a firefly in the night. It is a breath of a buffalo in the winter time. It is as the little shadow that runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.

我还有不多的时候，要从你们中间出去，往那里去，我也不知道。我们不知道从哪里来，也不知道去哪里。生命是什么?它是萤火虫在夜里的闪光。在冬天，它就像一头野牛的呼吸。它就像一个小影子，跑过草地，消失在夕阳里。
