Of all crimes the worst Is to steal the glory From the great and brave, Even more accursed Than to rob the grave.

Of course there is matter for remark in poems. Nobody denies that. But it must be solemnly laid on everybody in this world to make his own observations and remarks. That's what we mean by thinking, and that's about all we mean. A teacher says to a pupil Watch me notice a few things in the next few months: let's see you notice a few things too.

Tree at my window, window tree, My sash is lowered when night comes on But let there never be curtain drawn Between you and me.
