To be great, be whole: don’t exaggerate

To be great, be whole: donʾt exaggerate
                Or leave out any part of you.
Be complete in each thing. Put all you are
              Into the least of your acts.
So too in each lake, with its lofty life,
               The whole moon shines.

14-II-1933
