a leaf was riven from a tree
"i mean to fall to earth" said he the west wind, rising, made him veer; 'eastwards', he said, 'i shall now steer' the east wind rose with greater force; said he: 'twere wise to change my course' with equal power they contend; he said: 'my judgement i suspend' down died the winds. the leaf, elate, cried: 'i've decided to fall straight.' 'first thoughts are best'? that's not the moral; just choose your own and we'll not quarrel. howe're your choice may chance to fall. you'll have no hand in it at all. |
