.....Listen to me, ye who strive in the senses
.....And think through the senses only:
.....Immortality is not a gift,
.....Immortality is an achievement;
.....And only those who strive mightily
.....Shall possess it.
..........— Edgar Lee Masters (1868-1950), American poet. "The Village Atheist" from Spoon River Anthology (1916).
