10. Our impatience is thus sharply rebuked. Bashfulness and apathy are a tough husk in which a delicate organization is protected from premature ripening. It would be lost if it knew itself before any of the best souls were yet ripe enough to know and own it. Respect the _naturlangsamkeit_[296] which hardens the ruby in a million years, and works in duration, in which Alps and Andes come and go as rainbows. The good spirit of our life has no heaven which is the price of rashness. Love, which is the essence of God, is not for levity, but for the total worth of man. Let us not have this childish luxury in our regards, but the austerest worth; let us approach our friend with an audacious trust in the truth of his heart, in the breadth, impossible to be overturned, of his foundations.

白话
我们的急躁就这样被严厉斥责。羞怯和冷淡是坚硬的外壳，保护着 delicate 的组织免于过早成熟。如果它在最好的灵魂尚未成熟到认识并拥有它之前就认识自己，它就会毁掉。尊重这种“自然缓慢”，它用百万年硬化红宝石，在时间中运作，阿尔卑斯和安第斯山脉像彩虹一样来了又去。我们生命的好精神没有哪个天堂是鲁莽的代价。爱是上帝的本质，不是为轻浮，而是为人的全部价值。让我们在关注中不要这种幼稚的奢侈，而要最严峻的价值；让我们接近朋友时，大胆信任他内心的真实，信任他根基的宽广不可颠覆。
