Présentation de l'éditeur

How dull it is to pause, to make an end, To rust unburnish d, not to shine in use! As tho to breathe were life. Life piled on life Were all too little, and of one to me Little remains: but every hour is saved From that eternal silence, something more, A bringer of new things; and vile it were For some three stms to store and hoard myself. ind this gray spirit yearning in desire To follow knowledge like a sinking star. Beyond the utmost bound of human thought. .. .M ymariners, Souls that have toil d, and wrought, and thought with me That ever with a frolic welcome took The thunder and the simshine, and opposed Free hearts, free foreheads you and I are old; Old age hath yet his honor and his toil; Death closes all: but something ere the end, Some work of noble note, may yet be done, Push oflf, and sitting well in order smite The sounding fturows; for my purpose holds To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths Of all the western stars, until I die. Tennysons Ulysses. Ja! diesem Sinne bin ich ganz ergeben, Dass ist der Weisheit letzter Schluss; Nur der verdient sich Freiheit wie das Leben, Der tglich sie erobem muss. Und so verbringt, umrungen von Gefahr, Hier Kindheit, Mann und Greis sein tuchtig Jahr. Solch ein Gewimmel m Ocht ich sehn, A uf freiem Grund mit freiem Volke stehn. Goethes Faust.
