But 'why then publish?' There are no rewardsOf fame or profit when the world grows weary.I ask in turn why do you play at cards?Why drink? Why read? To make some hour less dreary. It occupies me to turn back regardsOn what I've seen or pondered, sad or cheery, And what I write I cast upon the streamTo swim or sink. I have had at least my dream.
