Matthew Arnold - ImmortalityMatthew Arnold - Immortality
Work rating:
Medium
Foil`d by our fellow-men, depress`d, outworn,
We leave the brutal world to take its way,
And, Patience! in another life, we say
The world shall be thrust down, and we up-borne.
And will not, then, the immortal armies scorn
The world`s poor, routed leavings? or will they,
Who fail`d under the heat of this life`s day,
Support the fervours of the heavenly morn?
No, no! the energy of life may be
Kept on after the grave, but not begun;
And he who flagg`d not in the earthly strife,
From strength to strength advancing—only he,
His soul well-knit, and all his battles won,
Mounts, and that hardly, to eternal life.
