A giddy whirlwind's fickle gust,

A few swift years, and who can show
Which dust was Bill, and which was Joe?

Where should the scholar live? In solitude, or in society? in
the green stillness of the country, where he can hear the heart
of Nature beat, or in the dark, gray town where he can hear and
feel the throbbing heart of man?
