that others are doing and think of

makes us feel little indeed; but we
get some consolation out Of these
lines:
"All are architects Of Fate,
Working In these walls Of time;
Some with massive deeds and great,
Some with ornaments of rhyme.
Nothing useless here below
Each thing in its place is best,
And what seems but an idle show
Strengthens and supports the rest. +"
