• THE POET A moody child and wildly wise Pursued the game with joyful eyes, Which chose, like meteors, their way, And rived the dark with private ray: They overleapt the horizon's edge, Searched with Apollo's privilege; Through man, and woman, and sea, and star, Saw the dance of nature forward far; Through worlds, and races, and terms, and times, Saw musical order, and pairing rhymes. Olympian bards who sung Divine ideas below, Which always find us young, And always keep us so.

• Enough of satire; in less harden'd times
  Great was her force, and mighty were her rhymes.
  I've read of men, beyond man's daring brave,
  Who yet have trembled at the strokes she gave;
  Whose souls have felt more terrible alarms
  From her one line, than from a world in arms.

• All life is an experiment. Place yourself in the middle of the stream of power and wisdom which animates all whom it floats, and you are without effort impelled to truth, to right and a perfect contentment.

I hate quotation. Tell me what you know.
