Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour.

An Essay On Man: Epistle I.
THE DESIGN.
Having proposed to write some pieces on human life and manners, such as (to use my Lord Bacon's expression) come home to men's business and bosoms, I thought it more satisfactory to begin with considering man in the abstract, his nature and his state; since, to prove any moral duty, to enforce any moral precept, or to examine the perfection or imperfection of any creature whatsoever, it is necessary first to know what condition and relation it is placed in, and what is the proper end and purpose of its being.

Health
Four miles at a leap, over the dark hollow land,
To the frosted steep of the down and its junipers black,
Travels my eye with equal ease and delight:
And scarce could my body leap four yards.

A Worker Reads History

The books are filled with names of kings.
Was it the kings who hauled the craggy blocks of stone?
And Babylon, so many times destroyed.

Warm where now love's despair wrought life's undoing,

Glanced as he rose on fields whose dews were red
With darker tints than those Aurora spread.

When PHARAOH chased the chosen Jew, and perished in the sea,

But we've never been enlightened on what PHARAOH had to say.
