Your Guess and Mine

{Completed pictures of Mr. Roosevelt's pre ay seetn ns fall into two categories: fifst, intelligent anticipation; second, unqualified imagination . . ant ~Reuter’s diplomatic correspondent.) Of All that People write or say Purporting to enlighten_us On World Affairs from Day to Day, To cheer, cajole, or frighten us, Part is intelligent Anticipation, And Part unqualified Imagination. Oh, That may be, but Who can tell Who's right ho is blundering? For Time ‘alone can Doubts dispel And put an End to Wondering Which is intelligent Anticipation And Which unqualified Imagination. Somebody sees, or thinks he sees That 4 the coming Winter great Events are due, that Germany’s Whole Fabric must disintegratels That intelligent Anticipation, Or just unqualified Imagination? A Guess is only good or bad As later it is found to be; The Unknown Quantities we add, Like winning Horses, bound to be Either intelligent Anticipation Or else unqualified Imagination!
