Enough to warm but not enough to burn.

What, then, shall we sit idly down and say

The night hath come; it is no longer day?

The night hath not come; we are not quite

Cut off from labor by the failing light.

Something remains for us to do or dare,

Even the oldest tree some fruit may bear.

Not Œdipus Colonus, or Greek Ode,

Or tales of pilgrims that one morning rode

Out of the gateway of the Tabard Inn.
