Exalted reason,<br />Resplendent daughter of the head divine,<br />Wise foundress of the system of the world,<br />Guide of the stars, who art thou then if thou,<br />Bound to the tail of folly's uncurbed steed,<br />Must, vainly shrieking with the drunken crowd,<br />Eyes open, plunge down headlong in the abyss.<br />Accursed, who striveth after noble ends,<br />And with deliberate wisdom forms his plans!<br />To the fool-king belongs the world. <br /><br />Thanks to Herr Schiller...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
