The Sunday posts 2012/Isn't it strange

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 steppingstone.
