Canto 34Epigram

Book 2. Part Two - Baroda Circa 1898 – 1902

If thou wouldst traverse Time with vagrant feet
Nor make the poles thy limit fill not then
Thy wallet with the fancy’s cloying sweet
Which is no stay to heaven-aspiring men,
5But follow wisdom since alone the wise
Can walk through fire with unblinking eyes.
