The Mind
XVII. There were many who went in huddled procession
From The Black Riders and Other Lines (1895)
The Mind
There were many who went in huddled procession,
They knew not whither;
But, at any rate, success or calamity
Would attend all in equality.
There was one who sought a new road.
He went into direful thickets,
And ultimately he died thus, alone;
But they said he had courage.
