The Tenth Day of Christmas: "Outwitted"

As we try to pin down a reasonable definition of "victory" in an ambiguous situation of conflict, the poem below by Edwin Markham provides some food for thought.



Outwitted

He drew a circle that shut me out
      Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout
But love and I had the wit to win
      We drew a circle that took him in.
