Humoring his dreaming, give him what he thinks is

Key to the arcana—plausible equation

Of the problems many in his incarnation.

Pitiful delusion!—in no nomenclature—

Maugre its profusion—O ambiguous nature!

Can man find expression of his own relation

To the great procession of facts in creation?

Fruitless speculating! none may lift the curtain

From the antedating ages and uncertain

When what is was not, and tides of pristine being
