From all I've done and all I've said <br />let them not seek to find who I've been. <br />An obstacle stood and transformed <br />my acts and way of my life. <br />An obstacle stood and stopped me <br />many a time as I was going to speak. <br />My most unobserved acts, <br />and my writitings the most covered -- <br />thence only they will feel me. <br />But mayhaps it is not worth to spend <br />this much care and this much effort to know me. <br />For -- in the more perfect society -- <br />someone else like me created <br />will certainly appear and freely act.<br /><br />Constantine P.
