Fable

Ralph Waldo Emerson



The author and the text:

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) was an American essayist, lecturer, and poet. His famous poems include ‘Concord Hymn’ and ‘Brahma’. 

The poem describes a conversation between the squirrel and the mountain. The squirrel points out that in this world every being, living or non-living, big or small, have their individual reasons for existence. 

Read the following poem:

The mountain and the squirrel

āĻĒāϰ্āĻŦāϤ āĻ“ āĻ•াāĻ āĻŦিāĻĄ়াāϞীāϰ 

Had a quarrel: 

āĻāĻ—āĻĄ়া āĻŦেāϧেāĻ›িāϞ; 

And the former called the latter ‘Little Prig!

āĻāĻŦং āĻĒ্āϰāĻĨāĻŽ āϜāύ āĻĻ্āĻŦিāϤীāϝ় āϜāύāĻ•ে āĻŦāϞāϞ ‘āĻ–ুāĻĻে āύীāϤিāĻŦাāĻ—ীāĻļ’ 

Bun replied, 

āĻ•াāĻ āĻŦিāĻĄ়াāϞী āωāϤ্āϤāϰ āĻĻিāϞ, 

‘You are doubtless very big; 

“āύিঃāϏāύ্āĻĻেāĻšে āϤুāĻŽি āĻ…āύেāĻ• āĻŦāĻĄ়াে; 

But all sorts of things and weather 

āĻ•িāύ্āϤু āϏāĻŦ āϧāϰāύেāϰ āϜিāύিāϏ āφāϰ āφāĻŦāĻšাāĻ“āϝ়া 

Must be taken in together,

āĻ…āĻŦāĻļ্āϝāχ āĻāĻ•āϏাāĻĨে āϜāĻĄ়াে āĻ•āϰāϤে āĻšāĻŦে, 

To make up a year

And a sphere

āĻāĻŦং āĻāĻ•āϟা āĻĒৃāĻĨিāĻŦী।

And I think it no disgrace

āφāϰ āφāĻŽি āĻŽāύে āĻ•āϰি āĻāϟা āϞāϜ্āϜাāϰ āĻŦিāώāϝ় āύāϝ় ,

To occupy my place.

If I’m not so large as you, 

āφāĻŽি āϝāĻĻি āϤোāĻŽাāϰ āĻŽāϤো āĻŦāĻĄ়ো āύা āĻšāχ,

You are not so small as I,

A very pretty squirrel track

Talents differ; all is well and wisely put;

If I cannot carry forests on my back,
