Note 15 — Chapter I · JOB’S CALAMITY; THE OPENING OF THE DIALOGUES. (CHAPS. I.-XIV.)

Reading edition

Contrast the touchingly natural expressions of an Arabian poet, translated by Rückert (Hamâsa, ii. 315):—

‘Gieng es nicht wie mir vil andern,

Würd’ ich’s nicht ertragen;

Doch wo ich nur will, gibt Antwort

Klage meinen Klagen.’

The same sentiment is expressed more than once again; comp. Buddha’s apologue of the mustard seed.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
