Ponder: "a house which is not for Time's throwing"

"We have found safety with all things undying
The winds, and morning, tears of men and mirth,
The deep night, and birds singing, and clouds flying,
And sleep,and freedom, and the autumnal earth,
We have built a house which is not for Time's throwing,
We have gained a peace unshaken by pain for ever,
War knows no power. Safe shall be my going,
Secretly armed against all death's endeavor;
Safe though all safety's lost; safe where men fall
And if these poor limbs die, safest of all"


Rupert Brooke,  “Safety”
