TOWARDS DEMOCRACY: PART 2. NOT OF MYSELF, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Not of myself - I have no power over myself
Last Line: Those who do not read them.
Subject(s): Language; Writing & Writers; Words; Vocabulary


Not of myself—I have no power of myself—
But out of you who read do I write these words;
And whether you understand them or not is nothing to me: I sort rather with
those who do not read them.
