Read history: thus learn how small a space
You may inhabit, nor inhabit long
In crowding Cosmos-in that confined place
Work boldly; build your flimsy barriers strong; Turn round and round, make warm your nest; among
The other hunting beasts, keep heart and face,- Not to betray the doomed and splendid race
You are so proud of, to which you belong. For trouble comes to all of us: the rat
Has courage, in adversity, to fight; But what a shining animal is man, / Who knows, when pain subsides, that is not that, / For worse than that must follow-yet can write
Music; can laugh; play tennis; even plan.
