Tale of Two Slopes

If the climb be arduous
  the peak hidden in mist
He who attempts it
  may cease and desist

Yet if the slope seem gentle
  the mountain but a hill
Beseech Heavenly protection 
   for any climber unskilled

Sounds like an ancient proverb. I had to read it twice--- brilliant.

Wow. Can't ask for more than this from a comment, Juliet. Thank you so much! Best always, Gershoh
