Those who traverse the whole world on foot
And in this search for the two worlds, wax old,
I do not become (aware) that they ever
Become masters of this present state, such as it is.
FitzGerald 1879 - 27
Myself when young did eagerly frequent
Doctor and Saint, and heard great argument
About it and about: but evermore
Came out by the same door where in I went.
Nicolas 1867 - 124
Ceux dont les pieds ont foulé le monde, qui pour s'en approprier les richesses ont arpené les deux hémisphères, je ne sache pas que ceux-là aient jamais su s'expliquer l'état véritable, la situation réelle des choses d'ici-bas.
Payne 1898 - 353
Those who in quest of Him have worn earth's face away,
Who've measured with their feet the worlds of Night and Day,
Ne'er have I heard, for all their travailing, that they
The case, such as it is indeed, have fathomed aye.
Thompson 1906 - 195
Those who have worn the earth beneath their tread,
Who seeking Him o'er both the worlds have sped,
I never have been told that they this case
Have as it is, aright interpreted.
Whinfield 1883 - 151
The sages who have compassed sea and land,
Their secret to search out, and understand -
My mind misgives me if they ever solve
The scheme on which this universe is planned.
