GOD to his untaught children sent <br /> <br />Law, order, knowledge, art, from high, <br />And ev'ry heav'nly favour lent, <br /> <br />The world's hard lot to qualify. <br />They knew not how they should behave, <br /> <br />For all from Heav'n stark-naked came; <br />But Poetry their garments gave, <br /> <br />And then not one had cause for shame.<br /><br />Johann Wolfgang von Goethe<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/poetry-14/
