<h3> <SPAN name="inferential"></SPAN> Inferential<br/> </h3>
<p>Although I saw before me there the face<br/>
Of one whom I had honored among men<br/>
The least, and on regarding him again<br/>
Would not have had him in another place,<br/>
He fitted with an unfamiliar grace<br/>
The coffin where I could not see him then<br/>
As I had seen him and appraised him when<br/>
I deemed him unessential to the race.<br/></p>
<p>For there was more of him than what I saw.<br/>
And there was on me more than the old awe<br/>
That is the common genius of the dead.<br/>
I might as well have heard him: "Never mind;<br/>
If some of us were not so far behind,<br/>
The rest of us were not so far ahead."<br/></p>
