“Ουδε παις ευδαιμων εστιν: ουπω γαρ πρακτικος των τοιουτων: οι δε λεγομενοι, δια την ελπιδα μακαριζονται .” Arist. Eth. i. 9.

Still Virtue labours mid the sky
To set her citadel,
Where visitants may come from high,
And Contemplation dwell.

She climbs; hill rises after hill,
The sun seems to alight
Ever before, but distant still
It sinks, and leaves to night.

“Children cannot attain this perfection of virtue and happiness; we call them happy in hope.”
