At his own wonders, wondering for his bread.
'T is pleasant, through the loopholes of retreat,
To peep at such a world,-to see the stir
Of the great Babel, and not feel the crowd. (William Cowper)

And Katerfelto, with his hair on end At his own wonders, wondering for his bread. 'T is pleasant, through the loopholes of retreat, To peep at such a world,-to see the stir Of the great Babel, and not feel the crowd.
