This man of the monument lived like that.
Men cheer him now; but of old they sat
In judgment against him; while, far away
From the place where they had chosen to stay,
He push’d for the light; and grew old and hoar
Ere one whom he knew had begun to explore,
Or seek what he sought. Alone in the van,
He had fail’d of aid had he thought it in man.
VIII.
Yet now are justice and judgment one.
