With the benefit of hindsight, the poet attempts to take a peep into the incoming millennium. In his dilemma,he, like Biblical Simeon, decides to keep his fingers crossed.

These intractable pangs of labour                                                                                                                                   Are they the harbinger                                                                                                                                                  Of the oft-publicized doomsday                                                                                                                                      Or the progenitor                                                                                                                                                           Of the now hackneyed El Dorado?
