Herman Melville

“ Or memory thereof. But thence, ⁠15
May be, was given him deeper sense
Of all that travail life can lend.
Which man may scarce articulate
Better than herds which share.
What end? How hope? turn whither? ”

“ Him Allah cares for, holy one: ⁠70
A Santon held him; and was none
Bigot enough scorn's shaft to send.
For, say what cynic will or can,
Man sinless is revered by man
Thro' all the forms which creeds may lend. ”
