THE MUSIC OF THE WORLD AND OF THE SOUL.

I

Why should I say I see the things I see not?

Why be and be not?

Show love for that I love not, and fear for what I fear not?

And dance about to music that I hear not?

Who standeth still i’ the street

Shall be hustled and justled about;

And he that stops i’ the dance shall be spurned by the dancers’ feet,—

Shall be shoved and be twisted by all he shall meet,
