An Anthology of Czechoslovak Literature/Eternal Unrest
Eternal Unrest
The puny heart was frail and shy . . .
We can soar to each topmost crest,
Or linger here. The heart sobbed: Try! . . .
And when I made endless heights my quest
The heart wailed here below despairingly . . .
And when with the heart I sank to rest,
The eagle’s eyrie stirred me snaringly.
Lyrics of Love and Life (1907)
