So the poets keep on trying, and sooner or later the consecutive results of their self-dissatisfaction are clipped together with a giant paperclip by literary historians and called their oeuvre.

The Master too worried over the cares of his office to express friendliness need never wonder why his Lodge seems too cold to his effort.
