(Oh, equal sadness!) the pain of being young.

Truce, truce. . . . Once again he fled;—

All his life, it seemed, was a flight;—

Fled and found

Sanctuary in a cinema house.

Huge faces loomed and burst,

Like bubbles in a black wind.

He shut his eyes on them and in a little

Slept; slept, while the pictures

Passed and returned, passed once more and returned.
