Should The Whole Frame Of Nature Round Him Break,
In Ruin And Confusion Hurled,
He, Unconcerned, Would Hear The Mighty Crack,
And Stand Secure Amidst A Falling World.
Should the whole frame of Nature round him break,
In ruin and confusion hurled,
He, unconcerned, would hear the mighty crack,
And stand secure amidst a falling world.
-- Joseph Addison (1672-1719)
-- Horace, Ode iii, Book iii
