7 All things are murderous

8 Long did your every gain
Come at hardship's price
9 Disaster deafens you
To questions that I cry
10 I must steel myself for you
Will never again reply
11 Would that my heart could face
Your death for a moment's time
12 Would that the Fates had spared
Your life instead of mine

That al thing ginneth waxen gay,
For ther is neither busk nor hay
In May, that it nil shrouded been, 55
And it with newe leves wreen.

But leaving on one side ambitious
sociological
speculations,
and even those more modest but hitherto more successful inves-
tigations into the causes which have in particular cases been
principally operative in producing great political changes, there
are still two modes in which we can derive what I may call
"spectacular” enjoyment from the study of history.

The leaves of willow and of adder's tongue;

The thyrsus, that his watching eyes may swim
Into forgetfulness; and, for the sage,
Let spear-grass and the
spiteful
thistle wage
War on his temples.
