44. He became what he was

```

With bubbling enthusiasm

He launched into the path of yoga.

With doubting uncertainty

He walked along the path.

With his destructive impatience,

With his devouring personality,

He left the path,

Only to become once again

What he was before:

A monkey with a

Sesquipedalian tail.
