Serenity

Enthusiastic? Yes, I'd qualify.

I can get more than used to having things around: Can, for a good while, praise them to the sky Or drive them into the ground.

Serene? I think not. No establishing That quite unprovable saint's or madman's state of mind Achieved by tolerating everything Or leaving it all behind.
