The Worst Way To Improve The World

Burn To Be Great, Pay Not Thy Praise To Lofty Things Alone. The Plains Are Everlasting As The Hills, The Bard Cannot Have Two Pursuits; Aught Else Comes On The Mind With The Like Shock As Though Two Worlds Had Gone To War, And Met In Air.

Simplicity Is Natures First Step, And The Last Of Art.

Dear Lord, Our God And Saviour! For Thy Gifts The World Were Poor In Thanks, Though Every Soul Were To Do Nought But Breathe Them, Every Blade Of Grass, And Every Atomie Of Earth To Utter It Like Dew.

A Poet Not In Love Is Out At Sea; He Must Have A Lay-figure.

And These Are Joys, Like Beauty, But Skin Deep.
