\nBehold a secret silent loathing and despair.<\/p>\n
\nAnother self, a duplicate of every one, skulking and hiding it goes,
\nFormless and wordless through the streets of the cities, polite and bland in the parlors,
\nIn the cars of railroads, in steamboats, in the public assembly,
\nHome to the houses of men and women, at the table, in the bedroom, everywhere,
\nSmartly attired, countenance smiling, form upright, death under
\nthe breast-bones, hell under the skull-bones,
\nUnder the broadcloth and gloves, under the ribbons and artificial flowers,
\nKeeping fair with the customs, speaking not a syllable of itself,
\nSpeaking of any thing else but never of itself.<\/p>\n
\nThe goal that was named cannot be countermanded.<\/p>\n
\nWhat has succeeded? yourself? your nation? Nature?
\nNow understand me well \u2014 it is provided in the essence of things
\nthat from any fruition of success, no matter what, shall come
\nforth something to make a greater struggle necessary.<\/p>\n
\nHe going with me must go well arm’d,
\nHe going with me goes often with spare diet, poverty, angry enemies, desertions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
