ANIMULA VAGA
Do quickly what thou hast to do;
For, till to dust again,
O coffin-worm, the temple fall,
A fledgling I remain.
For, till to dust again,
O coffin-worm, the temple fall,
A fledgling I remain.
Nay; till the utmost particle
Another form hath found,
Tho' plumed for the empyrean,
I flutter near the ground.
Another form hath found,
Tho' plumed for the empyrean,
I flutter near the ground.
