With lies, self-denial, unspoken regret
And the sick eyes that blame; before the divorce
And the treachery.”

Aged in wrong, the empires are declining,
And China gathers, soundlessly, like evidence.
What shall I say to the young on such a morning?—
Mind is the one salvation?—also grammar?—
No; my little ones lean not toward revolt.”

Surroundings of social life are futile and vain;”
