    Shall gods be said to thump the clouds
    When clouds are cursed by thunder,
    Be said to weep when weather howls?

    O life unlike to ours!
    Who fluctuate idly without term or scope,
    Of whom each strives, nor knows for what he strives,
    And each half lives a hundred different lives;
    Who wait like thee, but not, like thee, in hope.
    —Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
