Then welcome each rebuff That turns earth’s smooth · Robert Browning

What I aspired to be, And was not, comforts me.

Then welcome each rebuff That turns earth’s smoothness rough, Each sting that bids nor sit nor stand, but go! Be our joys three parts pain! Strive, and hold cheap the strain; Learn, nor account the pang; dare, never grudge the throe!

Courage and Strength Pain and Despair
