Maxioms by Matthew Arnold
No, no! The energy of life may be

No, no! The energy of life may be
Kept on after the grave, but not begun;
And he who flagg'd not in the earthly strife,
From strength to strength advancing--only he
His soul well-knit, and all his battles won,
Mounts, and that hardly, to eternal life.

And glance, and nod, and bustle by,
And never once possess our soul
Before we die.
