So from the passer-by I tried to find An answer to the riddle of t he ages. still A few would pause, and fewer were kind, And only three would stop to give me answer. The first, an old m a n, on whose tat A tered coat ragged beard aimlessly, trailed downward Looked up at me from sunken eyes and smote A palsied palm. fist within his withered He looked at me from eyes whose light was masked, And asked of me what I h ad asked of h i m. He mumbled to himself what I h ad asked, "Can one touch pitch a nd still be undefiled?" He chuckled mirthlessly, t he sad old man. And stroked h is beard with crooked yellow claws. I said, " P r ay give me answer, if you He can." turned "Time will tell." to leave a nd answered, I stopped a woman on whose rough ened face The wind h ad stained a m o m e n t a ry glow; She stepped from out t he c u r r e n t 's h u r r i ed pace And listened to my question rest lessly. She sneered a nd looked at me with scornful eyes And pinned a lock of h a ir beneath h er h a t; A passing newsboy paused with rau cous cries; She said, "A m an once told me t h at I could." A fat policeman looked at me askance touched his forehead as he And passed along. A jeweled m a t r on chilled me with a glance And swirled away with high-held, silken skirts. 10 THE M. A. C. RECORD.
