Aye! thou shalt be FORGOTTEN! forgotten as though thou hadst never sung, other poets shall chant in the world, yet maybe none so well as thou! other laurel and myrtle wreaths shall be given by countries and kings to bards unworthy, of whom none perchance shall have thy sweetness! ... but thou, thou the most grandly gifted, gift-squandering Poet the world has ever known, shalt be cast among the dust of unremembered nothings, and the name of Sah-luma shall carry no meaning to any man born in the coming here-after!
