Whatsoever is beginning that is done by human skill, Every daring emanation of the mind’s imperfect will; Every first impulse of passion, gush of love or twinge of hate; Every launch upon the waters, wide horizoned by our fate; Every venture in the chances of life’s sad, aye, desperate game; Whatsoever be our object, whatsoever be our aim— ’Tis well we cannot see What the end will be.
