In the thread—INDIVIDUALITY.
LIFE! What marvellous throbs and throes
The Alchemy of EXISTENCE knows;
What "weals within wheels" (and woes without woahs!)
Give sophistry a handle;
Though Hare himself could be dipped in the well
Where Truth's proverbial waters dwell,
It would throw no more light on the vital spell
Than a dip in the Polytechnic bell,
Or the dip—a ha'penny candle.
