“Most men eddy about Here and there-eat and drink, Chatter and love and hate, Gather and squander, are raised Aloft, are hurled in the dust, Striving blindly, achieving Nothing; and then they die- Perish;-and no one asks Who or what they have been.” MenHas BeensHateDiesAsksAchieveDrinkAnd LoveRaisedStriveDustMortalityHere And ThereLove And HateChatter Book:Delphi Complete Poetical Works of Matthew Arnold (Illustrated) Source: Delphi Complete Poetical Works of Matthew Arnold (Illustrated)
“Calm soul of all things! make it mine To feel, amid the city's jar, That there abides a peace of thine, Man did not make, and cannot mar! The will to neither strive nor cry, The power to feel what others give! Calm, calm me more! nor let me die Before I have begun to live.” MenGivingFeelsSoulDiesPeaceCitiesCryMinesAll ThingsLet MeStriveCalmMarsJars Author:Matthew Arnold
