“DECIDE, v.i. To succumb to the preponderance of one set of influences over another set.A leaf was riven from a tree,"I mean to fall to earth," said he.The west wind, rising, made him veer."Eastward," said he, "I now shall steer."The east wind rose with greater force. Said he: "'Twere wise to change my course."With equal power they contend. He said: "My judgment I suspend."Down died the winds; the leaf, elate, Cried: "I've decided to fall straight.""First thoughts are best?" That's not the moral; Just choose your own and we'll not quarrel.Howe'er your choice may chance to fall, You'll have no hand in it at all. --G.J.”
