WAYS
The Roman Way
Chapter 11
The Greeks had a way they thought up for themselves,
2And thought about for centuries.
3They started with dheroes and etitans and fgods,
4Who demanded the best they could give.
5The best they could give turned out to be great,
6And more than you’d ever expect,
7A gfire that burned in the mind of man,
8For more than two thousand years.
9They started in darkness and thought toward the light,
10hIn spite of the pain, and the rock, and the blood,
11And a sun that hurled iwings from the clouds.
12But they came back to earth with a jgolden torch,
13Which they kshared with the worlds they knew.
14And if you want, you can laugh at their lquest,
15And the mhorses they conjured to ride,
16But if you look down on these children of ngods,
17Who first dreamed of the mount that you sit with such pride?
