Or simply brain-disorder (doctors said),

A turmoil of the particles disturbed,

Brain's workaday performance in your head,

Spurred spirit to wild action health had curbed,

And so verse issued in a cataract

Whence prose, before and after, unperturbed

Was wont to wend its way. Concede the fact

That here a poet was who always could—

Never before did—never after would—

Achieve the feat: how were such fact explained?
