I suppose that the entity of the poet may be represented by the number ten; it is certain that a chemist on analyzing and pharmacopolizing it, as Rabelais says, would find it composed of one part interest to nine parts of self-esteem.
Poeta, oro har, hamar zenbakiaz ordezkatuko balitzateke eta kimikari batek analizatuko balu (edo Rabelais-ek esango zukeenez farmakopolizatuko balu), interesetik zati bat eta buru-estimatik bederatzi aurkituko lizkiokeela pentsatzen dut.
