.....Somewhat as follows: He is sent to school
.....Little or much, where he imbibes the rule
.....Of safety first and comfort; in his youth
.....He joins the church and ends the quest of truth.
..........— Edgar Lee Masters (1868-1950), American poet. The Great Valley (1916), "The Typical American" (page 68).
