I Strove With None, For None Was Worth My Strife; Nature I Loved

HomeFortune CookiesMiscellaneous Collections

I strove with none, for none was worth my strife;
Nature I loved; and next to Nature, Art.
I warm'd both hands against the fire of life;
It sinks, and I am ready to depart.
-- Walter Savage Landor (1775-1864)
-- Dying Speech of an old Philosopher
