Subject(s): Fate; Destiny
We who are in the world are of the world,
And worldliness is ever our first care—
Children of Fate! whom some strong Hand hath hurl'd
Into the stellar silence from afar,
And left us wondering of what world we are—
Strive as we will to reach the Master Mind,
Impenetrable mists before, behind!
