A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Thou glorious Being of unchanging Love, Enthroned eternally so far above Man smind, if spring not from thy sacred mount The quickening waters of the limpid fount Where poets seek high inspiration forT heir utterance, then shall I sing no more. I must be mute; for not a single strainT his voice would give forth of a source profane. If all the triumphs of exalted art Be aught but travail of the human heart. To tell of heaven, just transiently seen As if through rifts rent in the triple screen That shrouds thy majesty from mortal sense By seraphim, who sweep on pinions tense A bout thy messages then all are vain, And better far the I jrre had idle lain. The gleaming marble had remained unwrought, The masters brush the canvas had not taught With glowing pigments to enchant the gaze; For then such are but idols that men raise.
