Here He Comes, Big with Statistics

by

Listen in the reader

Here he comes, big with statistics, Troubled and sharp about fac’s. He has heap of the Form that is thinkable— The stuff that is feeling, he lacks.

Do you envy this whiskered absurdity, With pince-nez and clerical tie? Poor fellow, he’s blind of a sympathy! I’d rather be blind of an eye.
