We all enter the world little plastic beings, with so
much natural force. perhaps. but for the rest /
blank; and the world tells us What we are to be,
and shapes us by the ends it sets before us. To
you it says / Work: and to us it says Seem! To
you it says / As you approximate to man's highest
ideal of God, as your arm is strong and your
knowledge great, and the power to labor is with
you, so you shall gain all that human heart
desires. To us it says / Strength shall not help
you, nor knowledge, nor labor. You shall gain
what men gain, but by other means. And so the
world makes men and women.
