[The Palace of Art]

[Lines not used in the final version]

[_]

These verses originally followed line 20.

“From shape to shape at first within the womb
The brain is moulded,” she began,
“And thro' all phases of all thought I come
Unto the perfect man.

The simpler essence lower lies,
More complex is more perfect, owning more
Discourse, more widely wise.”
