Delightful aphorisms and clever poetry. The author is a mathematician, also. The poetry is translated well into English.
Grooks are hard to describe. You have to read them. But they are so concise and so true!!

- Nobody can be lucky all the time;
so when your luck deserts you in some fashion
don't think you've been abandoned in your prime,
but rather that you're saving up your ration. - Last words
- (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)If you knew
what you will know
when your candle
has burnt low,
it would greatly
ease your plight
while your candle
still burns bright. - Original language
- Danish
