In spite of Virtue and the Muse, Nemesis will have her dues, And all our struggles and our toils Tighter wind the giant coils.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Struggle, Fate, Wind
Ralph Waldo Emerson (2015). “Poems”, p.212, The Floating Press
In spite of Virtue and the Muse, Nemesis will have her dues, And all our struggles and our toils Tighter wind the giant coils.
