Présentation de l'éditeur
Jfl Rtttmte m The Builders Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (B orn February 27 K1807; Died March 24, 1882) All are architects of Fate, Working in these walls of Time; Some with massive deeds and great, Some with ornaments of rhyme. Nothing useless is, or low; Each thing in its place is best; And what seems but idle show Strengthens and supports the rest. For the structure that we raise, Time is with materials filled; Our todays and yesterdajs A re the blocks with which we build. Truly shape and fashion these; Leave no yawning gaps between ;T hink not, because no man sees, Such things will remain unseen. In the elder days of A rt, Builders wrought with greatest care Each minute and unseen part; For the gods see everywhere. Let us do our work as well, Both the unseen and the seen ;M ake the house where gods may dwell Beautiful, entire, and clean. Else our lives are incomplete, Standing in these walls of Time, Broken stairways, where the feet Stumble, as they seek to climb.
