There was a Door to which I found no Key: / There was a Veil past which I could not see. |
There was the Door to which I found no key; There was the Veil through which I might see |
There was the Door to which I found no key; There was the Veil through which I might see |
Think then you are Today what Yesterday you were - Tomorrow you shall not be less |
This battered Caravanserai / Whose Portals are alternate Night and Day. |
To-morrow? - Why, To-morrow I may be / Myself with Yesterday's Sev'n Thousand Years. |
Who is the Potter, pray, and who the Pot? |
Yesterday This Day's Madness did prepare; tomorrow's Silence, Triumph, or Despair: Drink! for you know not whence you came, nor why: Drink! for you know not why you go, nor where |
