You may
grow old and trembling
in your anatomies,
you may
lie awake at night listening
to the disorder of your veins,
you may
miss your only love,
you may
see the world about you devastated
by evil lunatics,
or know
your honour trampled
in the sewers of baser minds.
There is
only one thing for it then
— to learn.
Learn why
the world wags and
what wags it.
That is
the only thing
which the mind
can never exhaust,
never alienate,
never be tortured by,
never fear or distrust, and
never dream of regretting.
Learning is
the only thing for you.
Look
what a lot of things there are
to learn.
--T.H. White
