Send us Minerva a wiser man than me <br />I dreamt to humanity of Immortality <br />Of Body plus of Soul already: <br />Send us great goddess from your head <br />Some wiser man than me beget <br />More practical and engineering too: <br />I lit the light; let not the flame-glow <br />Wither before some turbid winter-thaw: <br />But catch it while it be, I lighted it. <br />I meant it to grow, not wither. <br />I was a dreamer, perhaps, yes, perhaps.<br /><br />Emmanuel George Cefai<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/send-us-minerva-a-wiser-man-than-me/
