Put forth to watch, unschooled, alone, <br />'Twixt hostile earth and sky; <br />The mottled lizard 'neath the stone <br />Is wiser here than I. <br /> <br />What stir across the haze of heat? <br />What omen down the wind? <br />The buck that break before my feet-- <br />They know, but I am blind!<br /><br />Rudyard Kipling<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-watcher/
