Seem all ignoble only; all is mean,

And nought as I would have it. Then at others,

My mind is in her rest; my heart at home

In all around; my soul secure in place,

And the vext needle perfect to her poles.

Aimless and hopeless in my life I seem

To thread the winding byways of the town,

Bewildered, baffled, hurried hence and thence,

All at cross-purpose even with myself,

Unknowing whence or whither. Thence at once,
