Have you never wept with a grief that slowly passes;

Have you never laughed when a joy goes running by?

Know you not the peace of rest that follows labor?—

You have not learnt to live then; how can you dare to die?

Scribner’s Tertius van Dyke

God meant me to be hungry,

So I should seek to find

Wisdom, and truth, and beauty,
