[Faith points to viewless wonders all inherit]
[Doth Music tickle ear, and that's the whole?]
[Out of this hard and thin life]
[How should Oratory give]
[With pen and with pencil we're learning to say]
[Painters, Composers, can make use no doubt]
[How rotten the Art is that works for display!]
[Artist, your business is with surface: true.]

Blackberries
Vegetarianism.
These
lower Lives eat Lives, I know;
A reason more
we
do not so,
Being Human, with a gleam and glow
Upon our life which travels far
From beyond the furthest star.
We know we are not as they are;
What they are, we do not know.
