This strange disease of modern life,
With its sick hurry, its divided aims.

With its sick hurry, its divided aims.

Poetry is simply the most beautiful, impressive, and widely effective mode of saying things

Truth sits upon the lips of dying men.

Children of men! the unseen Power, whose eye
Forever doth accompany mankind,
Hath look'd on no religion read more

Children of men! the unseen Power, whose eye
Forever doth accompany mankind,
Hath look'd on no religion scornfully
That men did ever find.
