aspiring (adj.)
Seas roll to waft me, suns to light me rise;
My footstool earth, my canopy the skies.
Seas roll to waft me, suns to light me rise;
My footstool earth, my canopy the skies.
'T is immortality to die aspiring,
As if a man were taken quick to heaven.
The aspiring youth that fired the Ephesian dome
Outlives in fame the pious fool that rais'd it.
