Quotes
I am a part of all that I have met; / Yet all experience is an arch wherethro' / Gleams that untravell'd world whose margin fades / For ever and for ever when I move. / How dull it is to pause, to make an end, / To rust unburnish'd, not to shine in use! / As tho' to breathe were life. Life piled on life / Were all too little, and of one to me / Little remains: but every hour is saved / From that eternal silence, something more, / A bringer of new things; and vile it were / For some three suns to store and hoard myself, / And this gray spirit yearning in desire / To follow knowledge like a sinking star, / Beyond the utmost bound of human thought. / This is my son, mine own Telemachus, / To whom I leave the sceptre and the isle— / Well-loved of me, discerning to fulfil / This labour, by slow prudence to make mild / A rugged people, and thro' soft degrees / Subdue them to the useful and the good. / Most blameless is he, centred in the sphere / Of common duties, decent not to fail / In offices of tenderness, and pay / Meet adoration to my household gods, / When I am gone. He works his work, I mine.
And O my son, the battle is fierce and long; / And the enemy is watching and I would not that ye should be slain. / Therefore I would that ye should withdraw with all your people, / And return unto your own land, / And there fortify your cities, and guard them from the hand of your enemies. / And I will come to you when the battle is done, / And we will make a covenant of peace, / And I will give unto you all the land from the spout of the river of Egypt / Even unto the great sea, which is the border of your land.
The winds roared, and the rains fell. / The poor white rabbit trembled in his hole. / He knew that he could not run away from danger. / So he put on his coat of many colors, / And went out into the spout to dance.
