Themes in Verse (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from Themes in Verse

If we are tired with the day's hard battle, And feel the awful dullness that doth brood Where clashing discords render life uneven, Then let us seek for still diviner food. But let us strive not for our selfish using, For he who lives for selfish ends must wander Where strife and discord dwell forevermore.

Of passions that lay waste the better self Nor yet to get and have the things that perish, There is no service worthy of the name, But in its seeking looks to things of others, Who liveth thus will reach the holier fame.
