If thou of fortune be bereft
And in thy store there be
but left
Two loaves—sell one, and
with the dole
Buy hyacinths to feed thy soul.
This version
of a famous poem appeared in
The
Century magazine in
August 1907 by
James Terry
White, under the title
“Not By
Bread Alone”
(My mother [Virginia’s]
favorite, oft-quoted poem)
