Futility
Dusting my books I spent a busy day:
Not ancient toes, time-hallowed and unread,
but modern volumes, classics in their way,
whose makers now are numbered with the dead;
Men of a generation more than mine,
With whom I tattled, battled and drank wine.


I worshipped them, rejoiced in their success,
Grudging them not the gold that goes with fame.

I thought them near-immortal, I confess,
And naught could dim the glory of each name.

How I perused their pages with delight! .
.
.

To-day I peer with sadness in my sight.


For, death has pricked each to a flat balloon.

A score of years have gone, they're clean forgot.

Who would have visioned such a dreary doom?
By God! I'd like to burn the blasted lot.

Only, old books are mighty hard to burn:
They char, they flicker and their pages turn.


And as you stand to poke them in the flame,
You see a living line that stabs the heart.

Brave writing that! It seems a cursed shame
That to a bonfire it should play it's part.

Poor book! You're crying, and you're not alone:
Some day someone will surely burn my own.


No, I will dust my books and put them by,
Yet never look into their leaves again;
For scarce a soul remembers them save I,
Re-reading them would only give me pain.

So I will sigh, and say with curling lip:
Futility! Thy name is authorship.
