ARCHITECTS, by EDITH CLAIRE CAM First Line: Pythagoras, the wise, who in those lost days Last Line: Is to rebuild the world. Subject(s): Architecture & Architects; Buildings & Builders; Pythagorus (580-500 B.c.) | ||||||||
Pythagoras, the wise, who in those lost days Before the coming of the age of light, Wrought mightily to pierce the veil of mystery That hid the face of night. . . . Said once to an aspiring youth who sought In vain to cast a temple-plan, "Go find your measurements from life, Build in the shadow of a Man." Far-sighted wisdom had the sage. His words the rolling years outran And prophesied beyond the veil of time The coming of the Man. But when He came for all the world, The world set all His worth at loss And in the shadow of the Man Could only build a Cross. Disdaining to employ the shadow of the Man, Now is the vengeance on us hurled, Within the shadow of the Cross, our task Is to rebuild the world. | Other Poems of Interest...PYTHAGORAS, HIS MORAL RULES by THOMAS STANLEY PYTHAGORAS AND THE DOG by XENOPHANES LINE OF VERSE OF YEATS by RICHARD GHORMLEY EBERHART METAMORPHOSES: BOOK 15: THE TEACHINGS OF PYTHAGORUS by PUBLIUS OVIDIUS NASO AMERICA (1) by WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT THE DESERTED PLANTATION by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR THE STORY OF URIAH by RUDYARD KIPLING GULLS by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS EPIGRAM: 18.
