"The humblest weed Wore its own coronal, and gayly bold Waved jeweled sceptre."
Knowing it is something, but selling it is the real thing. Now I hardly know at all, not a tenth as much as Brush, not a half as much as you even, but so long as I can sell, I don't really care to know. What's the use?"
