speak thy name,
The name by which thy father, mother, friends
And fellow-citizens, with all who dwell
Around thy native city, in times past
Have known thee; for of all things human none
Lives altogether nameless, good
Or whether bad, but ev'ry man receives
Ev'n in the moment of his birth, a name.
The name by which thy father, mother, friends
And fellow-citizens, with all who dwell
Around thy native city, in times past
Have known thee; for of all things human none
Lives altogether nameless, good
Or whether bad, but ev'ry man receives
Ev'n in the moment of his birth, a name.
Odyssey - Cowper
