I regard as a value every form of life
the snow, the strawberry, the fly.
I regard as a value the mineral kingdom, the assembly of the stars.
I regard as a value the wine as long as the meal lasts,
an inadvertent smile, the tiredness of he who did not spare himself,
two old persons in love with each other.
I regard as a value that which tomorrow will not be worth anything anymore,
and what today is still worth little.
