I.

The "good old times"--all times when old are good-- Are gone; the present might be if they would; Great things have been, and are, and greater still Want little of mere mortals but their will:[dw] A wider space, a greener field, is given To those who play their "tricks before high heaven."[254] I know not if the angels weep, but men Have wept enough--for what?--to weep again!
