Things cannot look all right so long as I/ Am not all right who see

   October 23

     Things cannot look all right so long as I
     Am not all right who see--therefore not right
     Can see. The lamp within sends out the light
     Which shows the things; and if its rays go wry,
     Or are not white, they must part show a lie.
     The man, half-cured, did men not trees conclude,
     Because he moving saw what else had seemed a wood.
