THE ROCK
Life’s tide bears all things past, but is there one On which a man may set his heart For see,. The child would woo a sparrow on a tree; But ere his love shall dawn, the bird has flown, Then seek Philosophy and on her breast Again and yet again thou shall find rest .... The mind untouched by passion or revolt A fortress is, secure against attack, Whereto a man may flee, nor shall he lack The means thereafter to defy assault. 111-starred who hath not yet this refuge seen, Who finds and loses, thrice a fool hath been. —Dr. John Lythns poem, “Marcus Aurelius.”
