LIFE AND LOVE.
Reading edition
———
Life is a boundless sea, on which men float; Succeed we may to ride the waves of Fate, Yet still within our paths there surely lies, The chasm death, the voidless ultimate. Love is a sacred shrine, to which men kneel, Succeed we may the blessing to attain, Yet rest assured the hallowed joy it brings, E’en though sublime, somehow is tinged with pain.
