As Is Your Sort Of Mind, So

I Write From A Thorough Conviction That It Is The Duty Of Me, And With The Belief That, After Every Drawback And Shortcoming, I Do My Best, All Things Considered--that Is For Me, And, So Being, The Not Being Listened To By One Human Creature Would, I Hope, In Nowise Affect Me.

In This World, Who Can Do A Thing, Will Not; And Who Would Do It, Cannot, I Perceive: Yet The Will's Somewhat — Somewhat, Too, The Power — And Thus We Half-men Struggle.

The Body Sprang At Once To The Height, And Stayed; But The Soul,-no!

Who Knows Most, Doubts Most; Entertaining Hope Means Recognizing Fear.

Fail I Alone, In Words And Deeds? Why, All Men Strive And Who Succeeds?
