I strove with none, for none was worth my strife:
Nature I loved, and, next to Nature, Art:
I warm'd both hands before the fire of Life;
It sinks; and I am ready to depart.

Comments1WOW, I REMEMBER READIN THIS POEM BY WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR BACK IN HIGH SCHOOL. HIS WORK REALLY LEAVES THINK ME. THIS ONE TOUCHES DEEP EVERYTIME I READ IT. ITS ABOUT LIFE AND DEATH, AND EVRYTHINGS IN BETWEEN. TALES REAL SKILL TO SPIN SUCH DEEP THOUGHTS IN SO FEW LINES. GREAT STUFF! LEARN SOMETHING NEW EVERY TIME I SWING BACK TO THIS ONE 👏👏👏🙂
