“What are we?Young or new?We must be something.”

“Something we were withholding made us weak, until we found it was ourselves.”

“What we live by we die by.”

“We love the things we love for what they are.”

“Possessing what we still were unpossessed by,Possessed by what we now no more possessed.”

“New' is a word for fools in towns who think / Style upon style in dress and thought at last / Must get somewhere.”

“So when at times the mob is swayedTo carry praise or blame too far,We may choose something like a starTo stay our minds on and be staid.”
