Matthew Arnold Quote

We do not what we ought,
What we ought not, we do,
And lean upon the thought
That chance will bring us through.


Act I, sc. ii - Empedocles on Etna (1852)


We do not what we ought, What we ought not, we do, And lean upon the thought That chance will bring us through.

We do not what we ought, What we ought not, we do, And lean upon the thought That chance will bring us through.

We do not what we ought, What we ought not, we do, And lean upon the thought That chance will bring us through.

We do not what we ought, What we ought not, we do, And lean upon the thought That chance will bring us through.
