Poet Analysis

First Line: A CAMEL-DRIVER, ANGRY WITH HIS DRUDGE
Last Line: "DOOMS NOT HIS WORK, BUT OURS, THE CROOKED MIND."

A camel-driver, angry with his drudge,
Beating him, called him hunchback; to the hind
Thus spake a dervish: "Friend, the Eternal Judge
Dooms not His work, but ours, the crooked mind."
