Maxioms by Philip James Bailey
Burn to be great,
Pay not thy praise to lofty things alone.
The plains are everlasting as read more
Burn to be great,
Pay not thy praise to lofty things alone.
The plains are everlasting as the hills,
The bard cannot have two pursuits; aught else
Comes on the mind with the like shock as though
Two worlds had gone to war, and met in air.
Death is the universal salt of states;
Blood is the base of all things--law and war.
Death is the universal salt of states;
Blood is the base of all things--law and war.
I cannot love as I have loved,
And yet I know not why;
It is the one read more
I cannot love as I have loved,
And yet I know not why;
It is the one great woe of life
To feel all feeling die.
