Since none can compass more than they intend;
And if the means be just, the conduct true,
Applause, in spight of trivial faults, is due;

T' avoid great errors, must the less commit: 260
Neglect the rules each verbal Critic lays,

And dropped their flowers in his night-black hair;

And prayed dear orchard boughs into birth;

As do the seasons of the year for us,
When they return and bring their progenies

With the fruits of life--O this, I fancy, 'tis

Would that I might possess the Thracian lyre,
To wake from Hades, and their idle pose,
Those old Caesars, and the shades of those,
Who once raised this ancient city higher:
Or that I had Amphion's to inspire,
And with sweet harmony these stones enclose
To quicken them again, where they once rose,
Ausonian glory conjuring from its pyre:
Or that with skilful pencil I might draw
The portrait of these palaces once more,
With the spirit of some high Virgil filled;
I would attempt, inflamed by my ardour,
To
recreate
with the pen's slight power,
That which our own hands could never build.

Imagination, loudening with the surf
Of the midsummer wind among the boughs,
Gathers my spirit from the haunts remote
Of faintest silence and the shades of sleep,
To bear me on the summit of her wave
Beyond known shores, beyond the mortal edge
Of thought terrestrial, to hold me poised
Above the frontiers of infinity,
To which in the full reflux of the wave
Come soon I must, bubble of solving foam,
Borne to those other shores--now never mine
Save for a hovering instant, short as this
Which now sustains me ere I be drawn back--
To learn again, and wholly learn, I trust,
How
beautiful
it is to wake at night.

all of their leaves
The grass at the foot of the rocks and the houses en masse
Far off the sea that your eye bathes
These images of day after day
The vices the virtues so imperfect
The transparency of men passing among them by chance
And passing women breathed by your elegant obstinacies
Your obsessions in a heart of lead on virgin lips
The vices the virtues so imperfect
The likeness of looks of permission with eyes you conquer
The confusion of bodies wearinesses ardours
The imitation of words attitudes ideas
The vices the virtues so imperfect
Love is man incomplete
Barely Disfigured

"
Living much out of doors, in the sun and wind, will no doubt produce a
certain roughness of character,--will cause a thicker cuticle to grow
over some of the finer
qualities
of our nature, as on the face and
hands, or as severe manual labor robs the hands of some of their
delicacy of touch.

And, as the world were now but to begin,
Antiquity forgot, custom not known,
The

And wring'd his hedde with such a

His visage was turned round unto his backe.

Longfellow |

In safety range the cattle o'er the mead:
Sweet Peace, soft Plenty, swell the golden grain:
O'er unvex'd seas the sailors blithely speed:
Fair Honour shrinks from stain:
No guilty lusts the shrine of home defile:
Cleansed
is the hand without, the heart within:
The father's features in his children smile:
Swift vengeance follows sin.
