In The Stalls , st. 1.
“
My life is like a music-hall,
Where, in the impotence of rage,
Chained by enchantment to my stall,
I see myself upon the stage
Dance to amuse a music-hall.
— Arthur Symons
What It Means
This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "My life is like a music-hall,
Where, in the impotence of rage,
Chained by enchantment to my stall,
I see myself upon the stage
Dance to amuse a music-hall." in the context of "In The Stalls , st. 1." to mean that wisdom is timeless.
