Are absolutely sure to come to grief.
Too proud to be beholden for relief,
Are absolutely sure to come to grief.
Haec Fabula Docet, 1947
But he had gone his way, the grass all mown,
And I must be, as he had been — alone,
As all must be, I said within my heart,
Whether they work together or apart.
And I must be, as he had been — alone,
As all must be, I said within my heart,
Whether they work together or apart.

And guide my lonely way
To where yon taper cheers the vale
With hospitable ray.
And guide my lonely way
To where yon taper cheers the vale
With hospitable ray.
