Thus at the flaming forge of life
Henry Wordsworth Longfellow - Expressions el Sat, Dec 10th 2011
Thanks, thanks to thee my worthy friend, / For the lesson though hast taught;
Thus at the flaming forge of life / Our fortunes must be wrought;
Thus on its sounding anvil shaped / Each burning deed and thought.
