“So let's not exaggerate.
The light is good; and those coming are good,
their words and actions also good.
And let's hope all goes well.”

Collected Poems (1992), When the Watchman Saw the Light (1900)
Context: So let's not exaggerate.
The light is good; and those coming are good,
their words and actions also good.
And let's hope all goes well.
But Argos can do without the house of Atreus.
Ancient houses are not eternal.
