No, I can't.
But I will try anyway.

For the originals.
Somebody said: "I'm from no school!
There is no master I am learning from.
And I am far away from having learned something from those who are dead."
That means, if I understood him right:
"I am a fool by my own."

Perhaps somebody will do better.

Bernhard
