    The massive gates of circumstance
    Are turned upon the smallest hinge,
    And thus some seeming pettiest chance
    Oft gives our life its after-tinge.
    The trifles of our daily lives,
    The common things, scarce worth recall,
    Whereof no visible trace survives,
    These are the mainsprings after all.
