12875 - ἓν ἔργον ἐποίησα, καὶ πάντες θαυμάζετε διὰ τοῦτο
N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Evi Charitidou
When you concentrate
only at the formalities
you miss the substance
and confuse
labor
with work
and you think
that this is a miracle
whereas it is necessary
for the continuation
and expected
when you have
a master
beside you;
for this reason you on your behalf
do not delay him
with details
which do not concern him;
because he will do this as well
for you to enjoy it
with the others
to share the joy
which cannot
be unjust.
