The morning came, I reached the classic hall; A clock-face eyed me, staring from the wall; Beneath its hands a printed line I read: Youth is Life's seed-time; so the clock-face said. Some took its counsel, as the sequel showed, — Sowed their wild oats, and reaped as they had sowed. How all comes back! the upward slanting floor— The masters' thrones that flank the central door The long, outstretching alleys that divide The rows of desks that stand on either side — The staring boys, a face to every desk, Bright, dull, pale, blooming, common, picturesque, Grave is the master's look; his forehead wears Thick rows of wrinkles, prints of worrying cares; Uneasy lies the head of all that rule, His most of all whose kingdom is a school. Supreme he sits; before the awful frown That bends his brows the boldest eye goes down; Not more submissive Israel heard and saw — At Sinai's foot the Giver of the Law. Oliver Wendell Holme*
