Leaving the gardens tidy,
The thousands of marriages
Lasting a little while longer:
Never such innocence again.”

Of what the mighty city is herself,
To thousands upon thousands of her sons,
Living amid the same perpetual whirl
Of trivial objects, melted and reduced
To one identity, by differences
That have no law, no meaning, and no end—”
