Extracts from Dipsychus: Isolation

WHERE are the great, whom thou would’st wish to praise thee?

Where are the pure, whom thou would’st choose to love thee!

Where are the brave, to stand supreme above thee,

Whose high commands would cheer, whose chidings raise thee?

Seek, seeker, in thyself; submit to find

In the stones, bread, and life in the blank mind.
