Good out of good--_that_ art is known to all-- But Genius from the bad the good can call-- Thou, mimic, not from leading strings escaped, Work'st but the matter that's already shaped! The already shaped a nobler hand awaits-- All matter asks a spirit that creates. * * * * * THE MASTER. The herd of Scribes by what they tell us Show all in which their wits excel us; But the true Master we behold In what his art leaves--just untold! * * * * * TO THE MYSTIC. That is the real mystery which around All life, is found;-- Which still before all eyes for aye has been, Nor eye hath seen! * * * * * |
