Commentaries
“I stumbled, slipped… and all was gone
That I had gained.”
Stephen Vincent Benét (1898–1943) poet, short story writer, novelist
Young Adventure (1918), The Quality of Courage
Context: I stumbled, slipped... and all was gone
That I had gained. Once more I lay
Before the long bright Hell of ice.
And still the light was far away.
There was red mist before my eyes
Or I could tell you how I went
Across the swaying firmament,
A glittering torture of cold stars,
And how I fought in Titan wars...
And died... and lived again upon
The rack... and how the horses strain
When their red task is nearly done... I only know that there was Pain,
Infinite and eternal Pain.
And that I fell — and rose again.
Uthman (574–656) Companion of Muhammad and third Rashidun Caliph
