They did not bump the little, crooked, dissipated, cigaret-stunted trees. They were not worth bumping. But shake, Mr. Piano. That is why you are on this stage. You were bumped here.

We have all experience enough of how but a few years, a change of circumstances, or a growth into another stage of development, give us fresh eyes with which to estimate the moral quality of our past.
