Apologia pro Vita Sua

Apologia pro Vita Sua

The poet in his lone yet genial hour
Gives to his eyes a magnifying power :
Or rather he emancipates his eyes
From the black shapeless accidents of size--
In unctuous cones of kindling coal,
Or smoke upwreathing from the pipe`s trim bole,

His gifted ken can see
Phantoms of sublimity.
