Which bring their meed of pleasure and of peace.

The old Age had its heroes, and the new

Must have its heroes also. Men of thought,

Of knowledge and of skill, whose ample minds

Are armories of wisdom to supply

The need of lesser minds, and lead them on

All strong and mighty to the coming war

Of truth with falsehood. Times have greatly changed;

And errors and traditions growing dim

Flicker like fleeting mists. Their power is gone,
