April 17, 2021: The Sage Lectured by Stephen Crane in the Mentor Bk of Major Amer. Poets, pg. 229

The Sage Lectured

The sage lectured brilliantly.
Before him, two images:
"Now this one is a devil,
And this one is me."
He turned away.
Then a cunning pupil
Changed the positions.
Turned the sage again:
"Now this one is a devil,
And this one is me."
The pupils sat, grinning,
And rejoiced in the game.
But the sage was a sage.
