Life has two days: one peace, one wariness, And has two sides: worry and happiness. Ask him who taunts us with adversity,  “Does fate, save those worth of note, oppress? Don’t you see that the blowing, raging storms Only the tallest of the trees beset,  And of earths many green and barren lots, Only the ones with fruits with stones are hit, And of the countless stars in heaven’s vault None is eclipsed except the moon and sun? You thought well of the days, when they were good, Oblivious to the ills destined for one.  You were deluded by the peaceful nights, Yet in the peace of night does sorrow stun.” The merchant recited the poem after he had begged for mercy from the demon who wanted  to kill him in retaliation for accidentally  killing the demon’s son.
