...what sorry shows and shadows we are.
Without our clothes and our pedestals we are poor things and much of a size;
our dignities are not real, our pomps are shams. At our best and stateliest
we are not suns, as we pretended, and teach, and believe, but only candles;
and any bummer can blow us out. - "The Memorable Assassination"
