The First Wise Man

'I had belorded and admired my master for years therein i had many friends, yet was a fool. We quarrelled about some trifle. I called him beast and tyrant. And therein being just and truthful, i lost my place and comrades over the first wise thing i said for years,. It is a most sorry, disorderly world,' he writes. 'You are the first wise man with whom i ever felt akin.'
