And twisted skeins of logic round the What

To lower natures leaving the dollars and the

She scared above the level of the commonplace

And moulded treatises which prove the That

To trace each line by Somewhat on Somehow's

To cultivate our spirits with the whyfore's
To benefit the Thereness with the Highnesj of

To food the dark with radiance from the This.
