“I’ll walk, but not in old heroic traces,
And not in paths of high morality,
And not among the half-distinguished faces,
The clouded forms of long-past history.”

Spends on the earthen hide, in the folds and wizenings, flows
In the gutters of the banked and staring eyes.”

MO what made fatuous sunbeams toil
To break earth’s sleep at all?”
