Excerpt from Themes in VerseIf 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, Else shall we fail to reach that bounteous store, For he who lives for selfish ends must wander Where strife and discord dwell forevermore.God gives us life, not for the mere consuming Of passions that lay waste the better self, Nor yet to get and have the things that perish, To gather thus, were little less than pelf. There is no gold that selfish use doth brighten.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
