TWO MORALITIES, by GEORGE SANTAYANA Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Happy who saith: enough Last Line: Himself he robbeth of. | ||||||||
I Happy who saith: Enough. Soft is Aurora's touch that breaks his slumber; His clasped hands never prayed For life, ne'er roamed his shade; He lives with time, nor are the sands that number His golden minutes rough. II How bountiful is Love! When hope is fled, he comes with wings of blessing: His pleasure is to give His all, and poor to live; But he grows rich, the treasure twice possessing Himself he robbeth of. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ASPIRATIONS OF A COUNTRY LAD by GEORGE SANTAYANA AT THE CHURCH DOOR by GEORGE SANTAYANA BEFORE A STATUE OF ACHILLES by GEORGE SANTAYANA CLASS SONG (WHICH WILL BE SUNG ON THE 22ND OF FEBRUARY) by GEORGE SANTAYANA COLLEGE DRINKING SONG by GEORGE SANTAYANA DEDICATION OF THE FIRST SONNETS TO A FRIEND ... by GEORGE SANTAYANA DEDICATION TO THE LATER SONNETS TO URANIA by GEORGE SANTAYANA |
