I have just discovered this ...
« on: Nov 13, 2015, 11:28:49 PM »
Someone introduced me to this verse the other day, and I thought it worth sharing:

Dying Speech of an Old Philosopher
by WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR

I strove with none, for none was worth my strife:
         Nature I loved, and, next to Nature, Art:
I warm’d both hands before the fire of Life;
         It sinks; and I am ready to depart.
