Random Poem of the Day
1Man, the egregious egoist,
2(In mystery the twig is bent,)
3Imagines, by some mental twist,
4That he alone is sentient
5Of the intolerable load
6Which on all living creatures lies,
7Nor stoops to pity in the toad
8The speechless sorrow of its eyes.
9He asks no questions of the snake,
10Nor plumbs the phosphorescent gloom
11Where lidless fishes, broad awake,
12Swim staring at a night-mare doom.
