  "text": "Others taunt me with having knelt at well-curbs\n\nAlways wrong to the light, so never seeing\n\nDeeper down in the well than where the water\n\nGives me back in a shining surface picture\n\nMe myself in the summer heaven, godlike\n\nLooking out of a wreath of fern and cloud puffs.\n\nOnce, when trying with chin against a well-curb,\n\nI discerned, as I thought, beyond the picture,\n\nThrough the picture, a something white, uncertain,\n\nSomething more of the depths – and then I lost it.\n\nWater came to rebuke the too clear water.\n\nOne drop fell from a fern, and lo, a ripple\n\nShook whatever it was lay there at bottom,\n\nBlurred it, blotted it out. What was that whiteness?\n\nTruth? A pebble of quartz? For once, then, something.",
