Página 139 - And, for success, I ask no more than this, — To bear unflinching witness to the truth. All true, whole men succeed ; for what is worth Success's name, unless it be the thought, The inward surety, to have carried out A noble purpose to a noble end, Although it be the gallows or the block ? 'T is only Falsehood that doth ever need These outward shows of gain to bolster her.
Página 32 - Still, through our paltry stir and strife, Glows down the wished Ideal, And Longing moulds in clay what Life Carves in the marble Real ; To let the new life in, we know, Desire must ope the portal ; Perhaps the longing to be so Helps make the soul immortal.
