Interlude

(A man's heart may well long for victory rather than peace

I better understand that of the aspiring poet rather than

The political brain. And once on me, too, smiled such

Fortunes as your own. None the less, if in prosperity the gods

Also gave us wisdom, we consider not only what has happened

In the past, but what might happen in the future; to ignore all else

I am a sufficient warning of what fate might bring.)

Find a way for conscious sake, the sentiment will stop
