Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers.

Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers.

So runs my dream, but what am I?
An infant crying in the night
An infant crying for the light
And with no language but a cry.

Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control - these three alone lead to power

Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control - these three alone lead to power

This gray spirit yearning in desire/ To follow knowledge like a sinking star,/ Beyond the utmost bound of human thought.
