from Part Three of The Age of Anxiety
Emble said:
Yonder, look, is a yew avenue,
A mossy mile. For amusement's sake
Let us run a race till we reach the end.

This, willing or unwilling, they start to do and, as they run, their rival natures, by art comparing and compared, reveal themselves. Thus Malin mutters:
"Alas," say my legs, "if we lose it will be
A sign you have sinned."
A sign you have sinned."
And Quant:
The safest place
Is the more or less middling: the mean average
Is not noticed.

And Emble:
How nice it feels
To be the one ahead. I'm always lucky
But must remember how modest to look.
And Rosetta:
Let them call: I don't care. I shall keep them waiting.
They ought to have helped me. I can't hope to be first
So let me be last.
