“Strew gladness on the paths of men—
You will not pass this way again.”

I shall not pass this Way again, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919). The title of this poem derives from a saying of William Penn.

By one calf near three centuries dead;
They followed still his crooked way
And lost a hundred years a day;
For thus such reverence is lent
To well-established precedent.”

Bring me men to match my plains,
Men with empires in their purpose,
And new eras in their brains.”
