I only missed you by 2,300 years <br />Yet presume to deduce from your record <br />That you never learned how to relax <br />Which is a shame because having conquered all <br />There was so much instruction pleasure needed to give <br />If only you could have stilled your tumult <br />Long enough to have had a small taste <br />Of a peace that does not come from success.<br /><br />Bill Grace<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/words-to-great-alexander-s-spirit/
