Thus has spoken the hermit of the islet:
No matter how many books you've read
to what expensive schools you were sent
Despite all the knowledge you're holdin'
you'll never have the wisdom of the dolphin
Αυτά είπε της βραχονησίδας ο ερημίτης:
Όσα στη ζωή σου κι αν διάβασες βιβλία
κι όσα κι αν τελείωσες ακριβά σχολεία Παρ' όλη τη γνώση που ίσως να κατέχεις
τη σοφία του δελφινιού ποτέ σου δε θα έχεις
It is believed that Dolphins are very wise! Probably they have greater wisdom than we humans have who gloat over our intelligence! Rightly put!
How lovely dolphins are. Your piem encourages thought! Panagiota Romios
Dolphins love humans and help them when they are in crisis, that; s what we should learn from them. A beautiful poem.

I would like to translate this poem
I love the idea expressed in this poem. Dolphins seem always kind and friendly and that piece of wisdom cannot be found in any books; it is not taught in any schools and even the people who seem to really care for us ask us to compete and win, rather than always be kind and friendly. A good and thought provoking poem
