Philosophical Haiku

Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881)

by Terence Green

Thund’rous Trumpets sound
Heralds of Doom’s own Carriage.
Beware Mammon’s Snare!

Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle was born in the Scottish hamlet of Ecclefechan. I tell you that not because it’s important but because I like the name. Ecclefechan.
