My friend, you and I shall remain strangers unto life,
And unto one another, and each unto himself,
Until the day when you shall speak and and I shall listen
Deeming your voice my own voice;
And when I shall stand before you
Thinking myself standing before a mirror.

And I say, “Only when I seek all men shall I know myself.”
