“He that alone would wise and mighty be,
Commands that others love as well as he.”
Edmund Waller
(1606–1687) English poet and politician
Canto III.
Of Divine Love (c. 1686)
Context: He that alone would wise and mighty be,
Commands that others love as well as he.
Love as he lov'd! — How can we soar so high?—
He can add wings when he commands to fly.
Nor should we be with this command dismay'd;
He that examples gives will give his aid:
For he took flesh, that where his precepts fall,
His practice, as a pattern, may prevail.

(1950) American musician

“What I learned
The well-documented difference
Between alone and lonely
The comfort of knowing”
