The Four Ages of Man
He with body waged a fight,
But body won; it walks upright.
Then he struggled with the heart;
Then he struggled with the heart;
Innocence and peace depart.
Then he struggled with the mind;
His proud heart he left behind.
Now his wars on God begin;
His proud heart he left behind.
Now his wars on God begin;
At stroke of midnight God shall win.
– W.B. Yeats (1935)
