A Man said to the universe
"Sir, I exist!"
"However", replied the universe
"The fact has not created in me
A sense of obligation."
The Wayfarer
Perceiving the pathway to truth
Was struck with astonishment,
It was thickly grown with weeds.
"Ha" he said
"I see that none has passed here
In a long time."
Later he saw that each weed
Was a singular knife
"Well", he mumbled at last
"Doubtless there are other roads."
Stephen Crane, 1899
