Who could so watch, and not forget the rack
Of wills worn thin and thought become too frail,
Nor roll the centuries back -
And feel the sinews of his soul grow hale,
And know himself for Rome's inheritor? (Vita Sackville-West)

Who could so watch, and not forget the rack Of wills worn thin and thought become too frail, Nor roll the centuries back - And feel the sinews of his soul grow hale, And know himself for Rome's inheritor?
