WHO you are I know not, but I have it before me that you shall know. For a certainty you are not greater or less than me: I neither look upon you with envy nor with pity, with deference nor with contempt. Endowments and dignities and accomplishments are of no account whatever; but honesty, and to stand in time under the great law of Equalityafter which you will be satisfied, and joy will take possession of you. Till then, farewell. Do not follow me, but go your own way voyagingand then haply some time we shall meet. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PARADISE LIGHTNING DAZZLE: 8.
