THE UNIVERSITY GATE Patronius, A learned old man of grace in the Letters, Looked out of the window, past students on side-walks, Past the tree-shadowed place where his mentors Had strolled with him along with students on side-walks, And looked on to the great university gate. “I am reminded,” he went on, The sun striking his shaggy white head And his voice unusually warm, “I am reminded, somehow, of the Brandenburg Gate, Of the blonde, young princes marching out to their fate, With a bravado of arms, and brazen alarms, And a sense of achieving the great. “Or Mycenae’s Lion Gate of the Trojan days, With Agememnon and “The Wrath” going their ways Out, out, to vanquish their Aegean foes, With a strength of purpose from which high valor rose. “For so it was in my student days, We saw the Graduation Gate as a challenge to raise A thousand dreams from the worst of us, And we strode through the gate with a cheerfulness. “But that ivy arch,” spoke the trembling sage, “Might be the portals of doom, to hear my students rage. They bluster of wars and the controlled security, The latest draft and honored ambiguity Until I see black fear astride that arch!” Patronius, A quieter, tired old scholar, Sat with the fading sun and to me Spoke one final dream of The Scholar. “Were we, in that happier, unchanged old day, So naive, so mistaken, (as I have heard them say,) When we reasoned the prime purpose of a beckoning gate, Was for the passing through, where no man can wait?” Neil B. Olson pronounced, Pa-tron-ius, significant only as a classical name.
