” I grant that you may try to clasp him,
Withdraw this spirt from his primal source
Upon your own abysmal course-
And lead him down, if you can grasp him,
And stand abashed when you have to attest:
A good man in his darkling aspiration
Remembers the right road throughout his quest.”
” This place simply is too bad:
It is as if nobody had Work or labor
Except to spy all day long on his neighbor,
And one gets talked about, whatever life one leads.“
