This text loosely translates as "It is not for you to complete the work
[of repairing the world]. Not up to you to finish it. But neither are
you free to desist from it." This phrase comes from Pirkei Avot (Ethics
of the Fathers), which is part of the Mishna, the Jewish oral law.

I had a little adventure with this piece, because I had it completely
designed and had already started cutting it when I realized I had a part
that wasn't connected to everything else. Luckily, I realized before it
was too late, and implemented a fix.
