Earth And High Heaven Are Fixed Of

The Fairies Break Their Dances And Leave The Printed Lawn.

To Justify God's Ways To Man.

All Knowledge Is Precious Whether Or Not It Serves The Slightest Human Use.

And Silence Sounds No Worse Than Cheers After Earth Has Stopped The Ears.

I Think That To Transfuse Emotion - Not To Transmit Thought But To Set Up In The Reader's Sense A Vibration Corresponding To What Was Felt By The Writer - Is The Peculiar Function Of Poetry.
