    EPIGRAPH: I think the immortal servants of mankind, Who, from their graves, watch by how slow degrees The World-Soul greatens with the centuries, Mourn most Man's barren levity of mind, The ear to no grave harmonies inclined, The witless thirst for false wits worthless lees, The laugh mistimed in tragic presences, The eye to all majestic meanings blind.
    FROM: Barren Levity, (1895), Poem, UK
