Of rushings hither, flyings thither, And never knowing whence or whither, Seeking to find his soul for ever, But ever foiled in the endeavour; A shuttlecock predestinate Created for the sport of fate; An actor in an aimless plot— Such is man's ever-hapless lot: Consistent but in inconsistence, Such is, was, must be, his existence.
1901-3
