Kate-a-Whimsies, John-a-Dreams,
Still debating, still delay,
And the world's a ghost that gleams-
Wavers-vanishes away!
We must live while live we can;
We should love while love we may.
Dread in women, doubt in man . . .
So the Infinite runs away.
Kate-a-whimsies, John-a-dreams
William Ernest Henley
