This page has been proofread, but needs to be validated.
Of rushings hither, flyings thither,
And never knowing whence or whither,
Seeking to find his soul for ever,
But ever foiled in the endeavour;
A shuttlecock predestinate
Created for the sport of fate;
An actor in an aimless plot—
Such is man's ever-hapless lot:
Consistent but in inconsistence,
Such is, was, must be, his existence.
1901-3
