It would be too easy then to say: all is cast in iron the will should withdraw recede and the eyes no longer dare upon the face of fate confront-
look not away only allow your patience faith and courage to hold you in position. Stay, stay never mind the oppression and angst of the day the heart is not made for pampering it's tougher than you knew what if it should bleed?
Nothing (if you will make your stand and seek not the easy route--the escape passage) is ever cast in iron for man is born to be tested and tried in the burning cauldron (he's the raw material to be forged, moulded and shaped to reach the finished product that makes him larger than a Promethean)--
the pain the suffering time and again is the in-between of time and the struggling to be--what if the sun shows no mercy the rain pelts the eye what if the earth shakes and the sea in its rage breaks its bank and inundates the shore and the night blinds the weary traveller?
every flicker of a hope then shall be a beacon and coalesce into a tonne of strength
nothing is cast in iron for the tougher -than- steel-man.
