Song is not Truth, not Wisdom, but the rose Upon Truths lips, the light in Wisdom's eyes.
The thirst to know and understand a large and liberal discontent.
God, eldest of Poets.
Threadbare his songs seem now, to lettered ken: They were worn threadbare next the hearts of men.
And though circuitous and obscureThe feet of Nemesis how sure!
Braying of arrogant brass, whimper of querulous reeds.
