I know not whence possessed you

Smith

If anyone has recently learned a lesson about the particularities of human existence and their separation from social systems, it is Wallace.

Maybe I did not live as I ought to have done ...

Would thou hadst hearkened to my words, and stayed
With me, as I besought thee, when that strange
Desire of wandering, this unhappy morn,
I know not whence possessed thee! We had then
Remained still happy—not, as now, despoiled
Of all our good, shamed, naked, miserable!
Let none henceforth seek needless cause to approve
The faith they owe; when earnestly they seek
Such proof, conclude they then begin to fail.
