They Will At Once Send Him Packing





from the journal of
Henry David Thoreau:

March 12, 1852/

The gods
can never afford
to leave a man
in the world
who is privy
to any of
their secrets.
They cannot
have a spy here.
They will at once
send him packing.
How can you walk
on ground when
you see through it?
