Isn't it strange
That princes and kings,
And clowns that caper
In sawdust rings,
And common people
Like you and me
Are builders for eternity?
Each is given a bag of tools,
A shapeless mass,
A book of rules;
And each must make,
Ere life is flown
A stumbling block
Or a stepping-stone.
R. L. Sharpe, "A bag of tools"
Some might skip the book of rules, others might break the tools themselves, but there is no need to smash one’s thumb.
