This truth within thy mind rehearse, That in a boundless universe Is boundless better, boundless worse.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
But every page having an ample marge, And every marge enclosing in the midst A square of text that looks a little blot.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
The thrall in person may be free in soul
Alfred Lord Tennyson
It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles, And see the great Achilles whom we knew.

Man is man, and master of his fate.
