LIFE AND DEATH, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: The two old, simple problems ever intertwined
Last Line: To ours to-day -- and we pass on the same.


The two old, simple problems ever intertwined,
Close home, elusive, present, baffled, grappled.
By each successive age insoluble, pass'd on,
To ours to-day -- and we pass on the same.
