"All we do know, and that to a large extent by direct experience, is that evil labours with vast power and perpetual success – in vain: preparing always only the soil for unexpected good to sprout in. So it is in general, and so it is in our own lives."

He was a Hamlet. I was more
A Pierrot, silent, sick.
His silence was another sort:
Adverse, impolitic.

A stare might drive a magnet hence,
If magnets felt the glare
Of concentrated suprasense
He gathered everywhere.
