O fine escape, horizon pure As Rome's! Black chimneys left and right, But not for him, the straight, the sure, His luminous day, his spacious night.
How keen his choice, how swift his feet! Narrow the way and hard to find! This delicate stepper and discreet Walked not like any worldly wind.
Most like a man in man's own day, One of the few, a perfect one: His open earth -- the single way; His narrow road -- the open sun.
