The paradox of peace and force

IXV. Temperance


Image of Temperence




Forces ere thought to repel
When rightly met, may wax a spell
Seek such things which first offend
As brambles rose, or nettles mend

Though such cunning may entice
As tempered blade from flame and ice,
By too much heat or too long quelled
With failed sword, a warriors felled.
