"’Your life, your true life, is not here,’—he pointed to his breast and the heart beating within it—‘but here,’ pointing now to his head. “There is your kingdom,’ he said, ‘and it is yours to extend and enrich as you please, to the ends of the earth.’"

The eternal shadow
Into which all lives must fall,
All hopes expire.""
