Praise the generous gods for giving <br />In a world of wrath and strife, <br />With a little time for living, <br />Unto all the joy of life. <br /> <br />At whatever source we drink it, <br />Art or life or faith or wine, <br />In whatever terms we think it, <br />It is common and divine. <br /> <br />Praise the high gods, for in giving <br />This for man, and this alone, <br />They have made his chance for living <br />Shine the equal of their own.<br /><br />William Ernest Henley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/praise-the-generous-gods/
