Canonical reference b0133

German

130. Was Jemand ist, fängt an, sich zu verrathen, wenn sein Talent nachlässt, - wenn er aufhört, zu zeigen, was er kann. Das Talent ist auch ein Putz; ein Putz ist auch ein Versteck.

130. What someone is begins to betray itself when his talent declines, when he ceases to display what he can do. Talent too is an adornment; an adornment too is a hiding place.

130. Ce que quelqu’un est commence à se trahir lorsque son talent décline, lorsqu’il cesse de montrer ce dont il est capable. Le talent est aussi une parure ; une parure est aussi une cachette.
