INHERITANCE by HORTENSE KING FLEXNER

First Line: PROMETHEUS, PITYING MEN
Last Line: IN UTTER WELL-BEING.
Subject(s): INHERITANCE & SUCCESSION; HEIRS;
Prometheus, pitying men,
Dared the long wrath of gods,
Thongs and the vulture—
To bring to earth
The fire,
Before which I drowse
In utter well-being.
