Robert Laurence Binyon - Fide Et Literis
Work rating: Low

When the long--clouded spirit of Europe drew
 Life from Greek springs, frost could no longer bind,
 And old truth shone like fresh dawn on the blind,
 Our Founder sowed his pregnant seed: he knew
 No crabbed rule but rather chose a clue
 That should emband us of our historied kind
 Comrades, and keep in us a morning mind,
 Since to the wise Learning is always New.

 In Faith and Letters he enshrined his light;
 Faith, the divine adventure that holds on
 Through this world`s forest into worlds unknown,
 And Letters, that since speech on earth began
 As one unended sentence burning write
 The hope, the triumph, and the tears of Man.
