I have studied many times<br /> The marble which was chiseled for me&mdash;<br /> A boat with a furled sail at rest in a harbor.<br /> In truth it pictures not my destination<br /> But my life.<br /> For love was offered me and I shrank from its disillusionment;<br /> Sorrow knocked at my door, but I was afraid;<br /> Ambition called to me, but I dreaded the chances.<br /> Yet all the while I hungered for meaning in my life.<br /> And now I know that we must lift the sail<br /> And catch the winds of destiny<br /> Wherever they drive the boat.<br /> To put meaning in one&rsquo;s life may end in madness,<br /> But life without meaning is the torture<br /> Of restlessness and vague desire&mdash;<br /> It is a boat longing for the sea and yet afraid.<br /> <br /> -George Grey&#039;s Epitaph by Edgar Lee Masters
