The Master said
Is this not, after all, delightful?
-
"To learn and at due times to repeat what one has learnt,
-
is that not after all a pleasure?
-
That friends should come to one from afar,
-
is this not after all delightful?
-
To remain unsoured even tho' one's merits are unrecognized,
-
is that not what is expected of a gentleman?"
