Notice the capitalization of the "L" in "Life" and the lack of capitalization for "wisdom" and "knowledge"?

Very interesting how the diectic "we" sometimes works in a textual fragment transported into a different context. I don't know if the three lines quoted on their own induce the reader to identify with the "we" or to resist identification. Perhaps, in the pagent play, The Rock, where the lines are to be found in the opening chorus, the dynamic of identification/resistance is different. We know not.

Good points, Francois. I noticed the capitalization of Life too.
