 | The poetical works of Leigh Hunt |  |
Fancy's the wealth of wealth, the toiler's hope,
The poor man's piecer-out; the art of Nature,
Painting her landscapes twice; the spirit of fact,
As matter is the body; the pure gift
Of heav'n to poet and to child; which he
Who retains most in manhood, being a man
In all things fitted else, is most a man;
Because he wants no human faculty,
Nor loses one sweet taste of the sweet world.

In all things fitted else, is most a man;
Because he wants no human faculty,
Nor loses one sweet taste of the sweet world.
