If you are weary with brain work and seek repose, read Longfellow.
"And the cares that infest the day,
Shall fold their tents like the Arabs,
And as silently steal away."
If in an heroic mood read Milton.
"For with thee
Certain my resolution is to die,
How can I live without thee? how forgo
Thy sweet converse, and love so dearly joined."
If fortune has smiled upon you and flattery falls sweet on your ear, and you are in danger of forgetting the final end of all ambition read "Grays Elegy."
