“If I am thus eminent,” said he, “in the regions of literature, I shall be yet more conspicuous in any other place: If I should now devote myself to study and retirement, I must pass my life in silence, unacquainted with the delights of wealth, the influence of power, the pomp of greatness, and the charms of elegance, with all that man envies and desires, with all that keeps the world in motion, by the hope of gaining or the fear of losing it.

Who acts: Gelaleddin, that, fear, wealth, gaining · What happens: be, say, devote, study, pass, keep · To what, where: regions, other place, Gelaleddin, life, silence, world · Speech: someone speaks here
