TO GET WISDOM

I will spread out my mind
As the wind spreads the skies:
I will make my heart Argus,
Full of love's eyes:
So shall I grow
Abysmally wise.

MEEKNESS AND PRIDE

Meekness and Pride
Are fruits of one tree:
Eat of them both
For mastery:
Take one of Pride —
Of the other, three.

COURAGE

Courage is armor
A blind man wears;
The calloused scar
Of outlived despairs:
Courage is Fear
That has said its prayers.
