Alexander Search – Meaningless Lines

[BNP/E3, 78A – 43]

 

Documents of Mental Decadence.

 

Meaningless Lines

 

I became good, and was despised.

I became bad; I hated was.

If good or bad I was not prized,

In good or evil, equal loss.

 

I became bad and good by turns,

And thus did but unite two ills.

The spleen that now within me burns

Therefrom, nor good nor evil stills.

 

Alexander Search.
