Every now and
then, in the musty old chronicles written in
crabbed Latin, one comes across a beautiful

undeterred
by ostracism), and safe from detection and punishment (such as in wartime or pogroms).

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce |
|
No man at all going the earth's gait,
But age fares against him, his face paleth, Grey-haired he groaneth, knows gone
companions,
Lordly men are to earth o'ergiven,
Nor may he then the flesh-cover, whose
life ceaseth,
Nor eat the sweet nor feel the sorry,
Nor stir hand nor think in mid heart, And though he strew the grave with gold, His born brothers, their buried bodies Be an
unlikely
treasure hoard.
