When 'all the world's ajangle and ajar' it is good to 'meditate on interstellar spaces', before getting back to work. The rest of the poem is here http://www.bartleby.com/104/39.html

When 'all the world's ajangle and ajar' it is good to 'meditate on interstellar spaces'
And smoke a mild seegar.

Canopus is the title of the poem.

Is Bert Leston Taylor (author) 1866-
still alive?

WHEN quacks with pills political would dope us,
When politics absorbs the livelong day,
I like to think about that star Canopus,
So far, so far away.
