& off! he gallops
in a swaggering
sweeping stampede
of calculated terror
all over Th'Surface
of his bumpy Soul
while
over Th'Chaos of
his numberless legs
running: The Who-
ever frightened him
witnesses plainly O
this:
Th'Great Illusion
of many specific &
distinct small creatures
but individuals
scampering off! in all
possible directions
& quite probables
over th'fence Improbable
impossible bugs &
vermins
(which is HOW Th'Man-
Organism defends itself
from predators &
creditors --In this mad
stampede of Chaos)
which is Mankind, O
how difficult it is
to say: What Part of Man's
inessential
--BECAUSE it is
IMPOSSIBLE to tell
which
IS essential.
