Man is one world, and hath <br>Another to attend him. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">Since then, my God, thou hast <br>So brave a palace built; O dwell in it, <br>That it may dwell with thee at last! <br>Till then, afford us so much wit; <br>That, as the world serves us, we may serve thee, <br>And both thy servants be.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=George+Herbert">George Herbert</a><div class=q>

That none doth build a stately habitation,

What house more stately hath there been, 
Or can be, than is Man? to whose creation 
All things are in decay.
