 | The poetical works of Edward Rowland Sill |  |
The brisk and dapper minds
Are doubtless those which have had the practical
And not the philosophic training, yet
When the world wants a great man for great deeds,
Who ever took the modern-fashioned one,
Who had learned the useful only and eschewed
Dead languages or dreaming in the woods?
The great man ever has sought the sacred fire
From olden books, or from the older stars
In solitudes, away from the bustling streets
And babbling men.
Are doubtless those which have had the practical
And not the philosophic training, yet
When the world wants a great man for great deeds,
Who ever took the modern-fashioned one,
Who had learned the useful only and eschewed
Dead languages or dreaming in the woods?
The great man ever has sought the sacred fire
From olden books, or from the older stars
In solitudes, away from the bustling streets
And babbling men.
