"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Endless.


From far, from eve and morning 
And yon twelve-winded sky,
The stuff of life to knit me 
Blew hither; here am I.
Now - for a breath I tarry 
Nor yet disperse apart -
Take my hand quick and tell me, 
What have you in your heart.
Speak now, and I will answer; 
How shall I help you, say;
Ere to the wind's twelve quarters 
I take my endless way.

- A. E. Housman
