The Body of Man
Between darkness and light
Delusion and truth
Fragments and fullness
Desire and detachment
Envy and empathy
Fear and courage
Anger and mercy
Lust and purity
Pride and modesty
Loneliness and communion
Suffering and bliss
Lies this narrow isthmus
Of faith and patience,
Labour and perseverence,
Humility and renunciation
Compassion and service
Vigilance and watchfulness.
