the intellect of man is
forced to choose
perfection of the life, or
of the work
and if it take the second
must refuse
a heavenly mansion raging 
in the dark

when all that story's
finished, what's the news?
in luck or out the toil has 
left its mark;
that old perplexity an empty purse
or the day's vanity, 
the nights' remorse

WB Yeats

Jumping into a jungly river in Tena, Ecuador.
