Two Octaves I Not by the grief that stuns and overwhelms All outward recognition of revealed And righteous omnipresence are the days Of most of us affrighted and diseased, But rather by the common snarls of life That come to test us and to strengthen us In this the prentice age of discontent, Rebelliousness, faint heartedness, and shame. S OPINE ONE NOT BY THE GRIEF THAT STUNS AND OVERWHELMS ALL OUTWARD RECOGNITION OF REVEALED AND RIGHTEOUS OMNIPRESENCE ARE THE DAYS OF MOST OF US AFFRIGHTENED AND DISEASED BUT RATHER BY THE COMMON SNARLS OF LIFE THAT COME TO TEST US AND TO STRENGTHEN US IN THIS THE PRENTICE AGE OF DISCONTENT REBELLIOUSNESS FAINT HEARTEDNESS AND SHAME
To speak them good or ill: There is nothing more to say. Why is it then we stray Around that sunken sill? They are all gone away, And our poor fancy-play For them is wasted skill: There is nothing more to say. There is ruin and decay In the House on the Hill: They are all gone away, There is nothing more to say. Richard Cory Whenever Richard Cory went down town, We people on the pavement looked at him: He was a gentleman from sole to crown, Clean favored, and imperially slim. And he was always quietly arrayed, And he was always human when he talked; But still he fluttered pulses when he said, "Good-morning," and he glittered when he walked. And he was rich, -- yes, richer than a king, -- And admirably schooled in every grace: In fine, we thought that he was everything To make us wish that we were in his place. So on we worked, and waited for the light, And went without the meat, and cursed the bread; And Richard Cory, one calm summer night, Went home and put a bullet through his head.
