Henry Vaughan Quote

Some men a forward motion love,
But I by backward steps would move,
And when this dust falls to the urn,
In that state I came, return.

Silex Scintillans (1650–5) 'The Retreat'

Some men a forward motion love, But I by backward steps would move, And when this dust falls to the urn, In that state I came, return.
