THE SINEWS OF A STOIC PHILOSOPHER

THE SINEWS

OF A STOIC PHILOSOPHER

by Michel Daw

~

A poem inspired from Epictetus, Discourses, II.8

~

Faithful, modest, and tranquil
With nobility undeterred
A desire undisappointed
And aversions unincurred

Pursuits duly exerted
Assents unerringly made
Resolutions carefully taken
And life embraced unafraid
