Song, Book VIII, p. 146
“
Ye that follow the vision
Of the world's weal afar,
Have ye met with derision
And the red laugh of war;
Yet the thunder shall not hurt you,
Nor the battle-storms dismay;
Tho' the sun in heaven desert you,
"Love will find out the way."
— Alfred Noyes
What It Means
This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "Ye that follow the vision
Of the world's weal afar,
Have ye met with derision
And the red laugh of war;
Yet the thunder shall not hurt you,
Nor the battle-storms dismay;
Tho' the sun in heaven desert you,
"Love will find out the way."" in the context of "Song, Book VIII, p. 146" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
