by that law itself, which is the supreme condition of practical
reason, excluded from the determining principles of the will which
we have called the unconditionally good; and that the mere practical
form which consists in the
adaptation
of the maxims to universal

"--BUT A SHORT TIME TO LIVE"
Our little hour,--how swift it flies
When poppies flare and lilies smile;
How soon the
fleeting

Leaving us but a little while
To dream our dream, to sing our song,
To pick the fruit, to pluck the flower,
The Gods--They do not give us long,--
One little hour.

Straight

Motes scattered
By the arc's rays.
