For our victorious armies, and the offspring following the armies?)

Piety and conformity to them that like! 
Peace, obesity, allegiance, to them that like! 
I am he who tauntingly compels men, women, nations, 
Crying, Leap from your seats, and contend for your lives!

Who are you, that wanted only to be told what you knew before? 
Who are you, that wante...Read more of this...

...know what their movement means.
You wish our situation not so far.

And everywhere, the audience defies
convention and conformity, some dressed
as though they had been made to improvise
at the last minute, some in black-tie best.

You’re happy, in new satin, having run
your fingers countless times from hip to hem –

...udge not what is best 
By pleasure, though to nature seeming meet; 
Created, as thou art, to nobler end 
Holy and pure, conformity divine. 
Those tents thou sawest so pleasant, were the tents 
Of wickedness, wherein shall dwell his race 
Who slew his brother; studious they appear 
Of arts that polish life, inventers rare; 
Unmindful of their Maker, though his Spirit

...thing remains at the end but threadbare
 crape, and tears. 

Whimpering and truckling fold with powders for invalids—conformity goes to
 the fourth-remov’d; 
I wear my hat as I please, indoors or out.

Why should I pray? Why should I venerate and be ceremonious? 

Having pried through the strata, analyzed to a hair, counsell’d with

You lack half wit. You crush all the particles down
into close conformity, and then walk back and forth on them. 

Sparkling chips of rock
are crushed down to the level of the parent block.

Therefore release me now, before troubling yourself any further—Let go your hand from my

Put me down, and depart on your way.
