I saw by the way you whipped up the horse.
I’ll just come forward in the lantern-light
And let you see.’”

He broke my trance. Don’t that make you suspicious
That there’s something the dead are keeping back?”

Deeper down in the well than where the water
Gives me back in a shining surface picture
Me myself in the summer heaven, godlike....”

Can never hope to wage a Global Mission.
No Holy Wars for them. The most the small
Can ever give us is a nuisance brawl.”
