Better the poets Alpine SHOWS,
Than deadly deserts of repose:
Better the martyrs fiery hour
Than Buddha on the lotus flower.
IL is the level road that kills:
The secrets of the heavenward hills
Are ethics OF an endless quest
And the novitiate Is unrest
The opiate vapors Of the plain
The clogging marshes-leave their stain:
Oh. that we might take wings and fee
Where sky-born winds blow healthfully.
oh. for the glorious lack OF guile
That leaves the crowd to fawn and smile,
The level road with all its Ills
For the fine freedom OF the hills.
