QUOTE : I know I am deathless,<br />I know this orbit of mine cannot be swept by the carpenter’s compass,<br />I know I shall not pass like a child’s carlacue cut with a burnt stick at night.<br /><br />I know I am august,<br />I do not trouble my spirit to vindicate itself or be understood,<br />I see that the elementary laws never apologize,<br />I reckon I behave no prouder than the level I plant my house by, after all.<br /><br />I exist as I am—that is enough,<br />If no other in the world be aware, I sit content,<br />And if each and all be aware, I sit content.
