“The Lost World” to “Typee”

The social climate leaves me too hot to say anything
That I consider to be the least bit funny or interesting,
But I settle when I find that it does not keep me from learning.
In the study of the way that unrequited restlessness
Turns into sickly-sweet, unsalted indolence,
It happens that conversation just to taste on the tongue
Is rejected by the stomach as completely without substance.
I find the whole experience narcotic, but unfilling.
