What Was man made a wheel-work to wind up, And be discharged, and straight wound up anew No grown, his growth lasts taught, he ne'er forgets May learn a thousand things, not twice the same. (Robert Browning)

What Was man made a wheel-work to wind up, And be discharged, and straight wound up anew No grown, his growth lasts taught, he ne'er forgets May learn a thousand things, not twice the same.
