Most of life's offices may overlap, <br />And form a covert for the growth of thought; <br />But there are some no thought and no device <br />May ever join; or if perchance they do, <br />Or this or that will soon unsightly warp, <br />Like green material, and give recourse <br />To the disastrous airs of circumstance.<br /><br />Robert Crawford<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/life-s-offices/
