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.

Decided
(gcide) | Decided \De*cid"ed\, a.
1. Free from ambiguity; unequivocal; unmistakable;
unquestionable; clear; evident; as, a decided advantage.
"A more decided taste for science." --Prescott.
[1913 Webster]
2. Free from doubt or wavering; determined; of fixed purpose;
fully settled; positive; resolute; as, a decided opinion
or purpose.
Syn: Decided, Decisive.
Usage: We call a thing decisive when it has the power or
quality of deciding; as, a decisive battle; we speak
of it as decided when it is so fully settled as to
leave no room for doubt; as, a decided preference, a
decided aversion. Hence, a decided victory is one
about which there is no question; a decisive victory
is one which ends the contest. Decisive is applied
only to things; as, a decisive sentence, a decisive
decree, a decisive judgment. Decided is applied
equally to persons and things. Thus we speak of a man
as decided in his whole of conduct; and as having a
decided disgust, or a decided reluctance, to certain
measures. "A politic caution, a guarded
circumspection, were among the ruling principles of
our forefathers in their most decided conduct."
--Burke. "The sentences of superior judges are final,
decisive, and irrevocable." --Blackstone.
