Of power does Man possess no particle: Of knowledge-just so much as show that still It ends in ignorance on every side.
O woman-country! wooed not wed, Loved all the more by earth's male-lands, Laid to their hearts instead.
Men are not angels, neither are they brutes.
Lose who may-I still can say, Those who win heaven, blest are they!
Man partly is and wholly hopes to be.
No, when the fight begins within himself, / A man's worth something.
