Our world knew, before thou wert born, that when the last cup was drained, it was time to go, - time to rest, - and it knows yet how to do that with calmness. Plato declares that virtue is music, that the life of a sage is harmony. If that be true, I shall die as I have lived, - virtuously. (Henryk Sienkiewicz)
