Sida 115 - There are are two principles in man that strive For ever for the mastery : he is bound Even to the vilest reptiles on the ground. And to the meanest plant or flower alive : Yet he has glory struggling in his breast—- Glory that has its fountain-source above : He stands erect in majesty and love, And power, and joy, and feels that he is blest, Let him beware, then, that his earthly part Bend not...
