Stevenson does show 'the soul of wit' in that poem, Shawn. It illuminates so much without giving an easy out or answer. I so admire poets who have that gift.

I had gone broke, and got set to come back,
And lost, on a hot day and a fast track,
On a long shot at long odds, a black mare
By Hatred out of Envy by Despair.
