171
I hope that our meeting will be what a meeting between you and me should be, after everything that has occurred[171a]. In old days there was always a wide chasm between us, the chasm of achieved Art and acquired culture: there is a still wider chasm between us now, the chasm of Sorrow: but to Humility there is nothing that is impossible, and to Love all things are easy.
我希望，一切是非曲直过后[171a]，此次会面会像你我见面应该有的那个样子。 在过去，你我之间总有一道鸿沟，由于艺术和修养的高下而产生的鸿沟；而现在，横在我们之间有一道更深的鸿沟，那是悲怆的鸿沟。但是，只要心怀谦卑，就万事可成，只要心里有爱，也就天下无难事了。
