HE KNOWS NO CHANGE WHO KNOWS THE TRUE, by HENRY DAVID THOREAU Poet Analysis Poet's Biography Last Line: Forever lives the knowledge of the wise Subject(s): Wisdom; Change | |||
He knows no change who knows the true, And on it keeps his eye, Who always still the unseen doth view; Only the false & the apparent die. Things change, but change not far From what they are not but to what they are, Or rather 'tis our ignorance that dies; Forever lives the knowledge of the wise. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TWO WOMEN: OR A CCONVERSATION WITH SAHARA NILE by E.
