Página 272 - Greatness and goodness are not means, but ends! Hath he not always treasures, always friends, The good great man ? Three treasures, love, and light, And calm thoughts regular as infants' breath: And three firm friends, more sure than day and night, Himself, his Maker, and the angel Death.
