THE STUMBLING-BLOCK.
I ALMOST wonder if I ought
To hymn this height of human pain:
To enter into Jones’s thought
I’d have to work with Jones’s brain.
Terrestrial speech is wholly vain
To carry meaning as it ought :—
To enter into Jones’s thought
I'd have to work with Jones’s brain.
This is the High God’s cruel sport:
To enter into Jones’s thought
And make its inner meaning plain,
I’d have to work with Jones’s brain.
