New thoughts hum busily within my brain
And make a claim upon my liberty.
Each one insists that it alone can be
My true belief, and thereby seeks to gain
A solitary kingdom. Each would drain
Away the others imperceptibly
So that it might be king alone of me
Without my notice: for as I am sane
(A necessary imprecation) I
Will never let the business go past
Without attention spent on each of them;
Therefore they silently try to condemn
Each other and present me at the last
With just themselves: and in that hope they die.
