That Low Man Seeks A Little Thing To Do, Sees It And Does I

HomeFortune CookiesMiscellaneous Collections

That low man seeks a little thing to do,
Sees it and does it;
This high man, with a great thing to pursue,
Dies ere he knows it.
That low man goes on adding one to one,--
His hundred 's soon hit;
This high man, aiming at a million,
Misses an unit.
That has the world here--should he need the next,
Let the world mind him!
This throws himself on God, and unperplexed
Seeking shall find him.
-- Robert Browning (1812-1890)
-- A Grammarian's Funeral
