Francis Bacon on Life
← Back to Francis Bacon Profile
“I would live to study, and not study to live.”
“The World's a bubble, and the Life of Man less than a span: In his conception wretched, from the womb so to the tomb; Curst from his cradle, and brought up to years with cares and fears. Who then to frail mortality shall trust, But limns the water, or but writes in dust.”
