Wise Man

Listen in the reader

It is as hard for you to understand Why we have doubted, as it is for us To banish doubt--what folly have I said? There can be nothing that you do not know: Give me a year--a month--a week--a day, I would undo what I have done--an hour-- Give me until the sand has run in the glass.
