            BETTER TO DWELL IN MOUNTAINS WILD
            
            Better to dwell in mountains wild
            
              With beasts of prey
            
            Than in the palaces of gods
            
              With fools to stay.

Tawney

I'd sooner live in mountain caves with lions, bears, and apes, Than dwell in Indra's heavenly halls with brainless human shapes.

            Better, I said, in trackless woods to roam
            
            With chattering apes or the dumb grazing herds,
            
            Than dwell with fools, though in a prince's home,
            
            And bear the dropping of their ceaseless words.
