Piet Hein, Trøste-gruk/ Relaxing Aphorism
Trøste-gruk
Den, som taber sin ene handske,
er heldig i forhold til den,
som taber den ene,
kasserer den anden . . .
og finder den første igen.
(Piet Hein)
Relaxing Aphorism
The guy who drops
one of his gloves
is lucky compared to
another one who
drops one, then throws the other...
and finds the first one again.

Hein Mogensen
Fårene og bukkene
At lave en primitiv filosofi
med båse, som menskene inddeles i,
er en fejl, hvoraf alle folk lider.
Men vi er nogen stykker,
som kun kan forstå
én måde at inddele menskene på:
Man skal dele dem i individer.
(Piet Hein)
Sheep and Goats
Molding a primitive philosophy from both these two,
that humans are divided into,
is an error that all people suffer from.
But we're simple parts alone
so we can only understand
a way of splitting mankind and
one should simply divide them into individuals.
