Excerpt from Quatrains From the Greek
The pathos of human life, its vanity and vexation, its brevity and uncertainty, with the background of the veil through which we cannot see and the recurrent refrain, Let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die - that is the eternal commonplace which appeals to every man, and which every age must in its own way express.
