“Now entertain conjecture of a time
When creeping murmur and the poring dark

“I believe a man is born first unto himself—for the happy developing of himself, while the world is a nursery, and the pretty things are to be snatched for, and pleasant things tasted; some people seem to exist thus right to the end.

—D.H. (David Herbert)
