bringing when I came。 

     Give as I will�察�I cannot give you sight Whereby to see that with you 

there   are   some   To   lead   you�察  �and   be   led。   But   they   are   dumb   Before   the 

wrangling   and   the   shrill   delight   Of   your   deliverance   that   has   not   come�察�

And shall not�察�if I fail you  as I might。

     So   little   have   you   seen   of   what   awaits   Your   fevered   glimpse   of   a 

democracy Confused and foiled with an equality Not equal to the envy it 

creates�察�That you see not how near you are the gates Of an old king who 

listens fearfully To you that are outside and are to be The noisy lords of 

imminent estates。 

    Rather     be   then   your   prayer   that   you   shall  have    Your   kingdom 

undishonored。 Having all�察�See not the great among you for the small�察�But 

hear their silence�察�for the few shall save The many�察�or the many are to fall 

 Still to be wrangling in a noisy grave。

                     The Flying Dutchman 



    Unyielding in the pride of his defiance�察�Afloat with none to serve or to 

command�察      �Lord   of  himself   at  last�察 �and  all  by  Science�察  �He   seeks   the 

Vanished Land。 

    Alone�察�by the one light of his one thought�察�He steers to find the shore 

from which we came�察 �Fearless of in what coil he may be caught On seas 

that have no name。 

     Into the night he sails�察�and after night There is a dawning�察�though there 

be   no   sun�察  �Wherefore�察  �with   nothing   but   himself   in   sight�察  �Unsighted�察  �he 

sails on。 At last there is a lifting of the cloud Between the flood before him 

and the sky�察�And then  though he may curse the Power aloud That has no 

power to die  

    He steers himself away from what is haunted By the old ghost of what 

has   been   before�察     �Abandoning�察   �as  always�察  �and   undaunted�察    �One   fog´ 

walled island more。

    Observant of the way she told So much of what was true�察�No vanity 

could long withhold Regard that was her due�此�She spared him the familiar 

guile�察  �So   easily   achieved�察 �That   only   made   a   man   to   smile And   left   him 

undeceived。 

    Aware that all imagining Of more than what she meant Would urge an 

end of everything�察�He stayed�察�and when he went�察�They parted with a merry 

word That was to him as light As any that was ever heard Upon a starry 

night。 

     She smiled a little�察�knowing well That he would not remark The ruins 

of a day that fell Around her in the dark�此�He saw no ruins anywhere�察�Nor 

fancied there were scars On anyone who lingered there�察�Alone below the 

stars。

                                On the Way 



       ��Philadelphia�察�1794�� 

       Note。     The   following     imaginary    dialogue    between     Alexander 

Hamilton and Aaron Burr�察�which is not based upon any specific incident in 

American      history�察 �may    be  supposed     to  have   occurred   a  few   months 

previous to Hamilton's retirement from Washington's Cabinet in 1795 and 

a   few   years  before   the  political  ingenuities    of  Burr    who   has  been 

characterized�察  �without   much   exaggeration�察  �as   the   inventor   of   American 

politics  began to be conspicuously formidable to the Federalists。 These 

activities on the part of Burr resulted�察�as the reader will remember�察�in the 

Burr´Jefferson   tie   for   the   Presidency   in   1800�察  �and   finally   in   the   Burr´ 

Hamilton duel at Weehawken in 1804。 



       BURR 

    Hamilton�察�if he rides you down�察�remember That I was here to speak�察�

and so to save Your fabric from catastrophe。 That's good�察�For I perceive 

that you observe him also。 A President�察�a´riding of his horse�察�May dust a 

General and be forgiven�察�But why be dusted  when we're all alike�察�All 

equal�察�and all happy。 Here he comes  And there he goes。 And we�察�by your 

new patent�察�Would seem to be two kings here by the wayside�察�With   our 

two   hats   off   to   his   Excellency。   Why   not   his   Majesty�察  �and   done   with   it�拭�

Forgive me if I shook your meditation�察�But you that weld our credit should 

have eyes To see what's coming。 Bury me first if ´I´ do。 

    HAMILTON 

    There's always in some pocket of your brain A care for me�察�wherefore 

my gratitude For your attention is commensurate With your concern。 Yes�察�

Burr�察�we are two kings�察�We are as royal as two ditch´diggers�察�But owe me 

not your sceptre。 These are the days When first a few seem all�察�but if we 

live�察�We may again be seen to be the few That we have always been。 These 

are the days When men forget the stars�察�and are forgotten。 

    BURR 

    But why forget them�拭�They're the same that winked Upon the world 

when Alcibiades Cut off his dog's tail to induce distinction。 There are dogs 



                                          21

yet�察�and Alcibiades Is not forgotten。 

    HAMILTON 

       Yes�察�there are dogs enough�察�God knows�察�and I can hear them in my 

dreams。 

    BURR 

    Never     a  doubt。   But  what    you   hear  the  most   Is  your   new   music�察�

something   out   of   tune With   your   intention。  How   in   the  name   of   Cain�察  �I 

seem to hear you ask�察�are men to dance�察�When all men are musicians。 Tell 

me that�察�I hear you saying�察�and I'll tell you the name Of Samson's mother。 

But why shroud yourself Before the coffin comes�拭�For all you know�察�The 

tree that is to fall for your last house Is now a sapling。 You may have to 

wait So long as to be sorry�察�though I doubt it�察�For you are not at home in 

your new Eden Where chilly whispers of a likely frost Accumulate already 

in the air。 I think a touch of ermine�察�Hamilton�察�Would be for you in your 

autumnal mood A pleasant sort of warmth along the shoulders。 

    HAMILTON 

    If so it is you think�察�you may as well Give over thinking。 We are done 

with ermine。 What I fear most is not the multitude�察�But those who are to 

loop it with a string That has one end in France and one end here。 I'm not 

so fortified with observation That I could swear that more than half a score 

Among us who see lightning see that ruin Is not the work of thunder。 Since 

the world Was ordered�察�there was never a long pause For caution between 

doing and undoing。 

    BURR 

    Go     on�察 �sir�察 �my   attention   is  a  trap   Set  for   the  catching    of  all 

compliments   To   Monticello�察  �and   all   else   abroad   That   has   a   name   or   an 

identity。 

       HAMILTON 

    I leave to you the names  there are too many�察�Yet one there is to sift 

and hold apart�察�As now I see。 There comes at last a glimmer That is not 

always clouded�察�or too late。 But I was near and young�察�and had the reins 

To play with while he manned a team so raw That only God knows where 

the   end   had   been   Of   all   that   riding   without   Washington。   There   was   a 

nation in   the   man   who   passed   us�察  �If there   was   not   a   world。   I   may   have

driven Since then some restive horses�察�and alone�察�And through a splashing 

of abundant mud�察�But he who made the dust that sets you on To coughing�察�

made the road。 Now it seems dry�察�And in a measure safe。 

       BURR 

       Here's a new tune From Hamilton。 Has your caution all at once�察�And 

over night�察�grown till it wrecks the cradle�拭�I have forgotten what my father 

said When   I   was born�察 �but there's a   rustling   of it Among   my   memories�察�

and   it   makes   a   noise About   as   loud   as   all   that   I  have   held And   fondled 

heretofore   of   your   same   caution。   But   that's   affairs�察  �not   feelings。   If   our 

friends   Guessed   half   we   say   of   them�察  �our   enemies   Would   itch   in   our 

friends' jackets。 Howsoever�察�The world is of a sudden on its head�察�And all 

are spilled  unless you cling alone With Washington。 Ask Adams about 

that。 

       HAMILTON 

     We'll   not   ask   Adams   about   anything。   We   fish   for   lizards   when   we 

choose to ask For what we know already is not coming�察�And we must eat 

the   answer。   Where's   the   use   Of   asking   when   this   man   says   everything�察�

With all his tongues of silence�拭�

       BURR 

       I dare say。 I dare say�察�but I won't。 One of those tongues I'll borrow for 

the   nonce。    He'll   never   miss   it。  We   mean    his  Western     Majesty�察   �King 

George。 

       HAMILTON 

     I mean the man who rode by on his horse。 I'll beg of you the meed of 

your indulgence If I should say this planet may have done A deal of weary 

whirling when at last�察�If ever�察�Time shall aggregate again A majesty like 

his that has no name。 

       BURR 

     Then you concede his Majesty�拭�That's good�察�And what of yours�拭�Here 

are    two   majesties。    Favor    the   Left   a   little�察 �Hamilton�察   �Or   you'll   be 

floundering   in   the  ditch   that   waits   For  riders  who   forget   where  they  are 

riding。   If   we   and   France�察  �as   you   anticipate�察  �Must   eat   each   other�察  �what 

Caesar�察�if not yourself�察�Do you se
