“Softly sweet in Lydian measures
Soon he soothed his soul to pleasures.
War, he sung, is toil and trouble;
Honour but an empty bubble.
Never ending, still beginning,
Fighting still, and still destroying;
If the world be worth thy winning,
Think, O think it worth enjoying.
Lovely Thais sits beside thee,
Take the good the Gods provide thee.”
—John Dryden (16311700)
“And tis my faith that every flower
Enjoys the air it breathes.”
—William Wordsworth (17701850)
“Study is like the heavens glorious sun,
That will not be deep searched with saucy looks;
Small have continual plodders ever won,
Save base authority from others books.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
