“This is the end, the redemption from Wilderness, way for the
Wonderer, House sought for All, black handkerchief washed clean by

“Let me arrest thy thoughts; wonder with me,
Why plowing, building, ruling and the rest,
Or most of those arts, whence our lives are blest,
By cursed Cain’s race invented be,
And blest Seth vexed us with Astronomie.”
