Inscriptions:
lower left in chalk: V.center left in pencil: 25/Alike for those who for To-dayprepare/And those after some Tomorrow stare,/A Muezzin from the Tower of Darkness cries,/"Fools your Reward is neither here nor There."/Way, all the Saints and Sages whodiscuss'd/Of the Two Worlds so learnedly are thrust/Like foolish Prohets forth, theirWords to Scorn/Are scatter'd, and their Mouths are stopt with Dust./ Myself when young dideagerly frequent,/Doctor and Saint, and heard great argument/About and it and about: butevermore/Came out by the same door wherein I went./With them the seed of Wisdom did I sow,/And with my own hand wrought to make it grow,/And this was all the Harvest that I reap'd-/"I came like Water and like Wind I go."
