NATHANIEL PARKER WILLIS American poet, essayist, journalist and dramatist (1806 - 1867)  << Prev Page    Displaying page 4 of 4 He who binds   His soul to knowledge, steals the key of heaven.       - The Scholar of Thibet Ben Khorat (II)         [Knowledge] Wisdom sits alone,   Topmost in heaven:--she is its light--its God;     And in the heart of man she sits as high--       Though grovelling eyes forget her oftentimes,         Seeing but this world's idols. The pure mind           Sees her forever: and in youth we come             Fill'd with her sainted ravishment, and kneel,               Worshipping God through her sweet altar fires,                 And then is knowledge "good."       - The Scholar of Thibet--Ben Khorat          (pt. II, l. 93) [Wisdom] Displaying page 4 of 4 for this author:   << Prev  1 2 3 [4] Last Revised: 2008 April 9 Copyright © 1999-2008 John C. Shepard. All Rights Reserved.
