"And there are some who scorn this poetry of departures/And say “Escape by staying where you are;/A man is what he thinks he is and can/Find happiness within.” How nice to be born a man./The tourist in space and time, emotion or sensation,/Meets many guides but none have the proper orientation./We are not changing ground to escape from facts/But rather to find them. This complex world exacts/Hard work of simplifying; to get its focus/You have to stand outside the crowd and causus."
