Excerpt from John Henry Nash Library San Francisco: Presented to the University of California Robert Gordon Sproul, PresidentShall I Cast Down the Standard of My Life?Shall I throw down the Standard of my Life, And bend beneath the clutch of circumstance?Through trembling fingers shall I view the strifeHid by the wings of some uncertain chance?Tossed on the wave, or battered in the moilOf striding days whose heavy handsPress my face deep into the bloody soil, Or cast my hopes across the desert sands, Whirled by the rush and current of the floodShall I sweep passive stripped of mine own will -Self-pitying? Shall wounds or dripping blood, Or little tears, a weakling's chalice fill?When night comes down upon the trodden fieldAnd day's last touch streaks my horizon redWith promise of new wounds to go unhealedShall I cry "Done" and wait with craven headAbout the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
