Epigram: The World Is A Bundle Of Hay

by Lord Byron

Lord Byron

The world is a bundle of hay,
Mankind are the asses who pull;
Each tugs it a different way,
And the greatest of all is John Bull.

    by Hervey Allen
    It stands upon a plain in far Cathay, A tower like a needle with its eye Through which the desert sun strikes once a day At noontide when the mountain shadows die.
