Do I view the world as a vale of tears?’
Ah, reverend sir, not I!”

It is the theory of the word for those
For whom the word is the making of the world,
The buzzing world and lisping firmament.”

Hidden from the buzzing fly,
While green grass beneath me lies,
Pearled wi’ dew like fishes’ eyes,
Here I lye, a clock-a-clay,
Waiting for the time o’ day.”
