...or stars by night, 
As some dissolving delicate film of dreams, 
Hiding yet lingering.

Two little breaths of words comprising it. 
Two words, yet all from first to last comprised in it. 

How ardently for it! 
How many ships have sail’d and sunk for it! 
How many travelers started from their homes and ne’er return’d!
How much of genius boldly staked and lost for it! 
What countless stores of beauty, love, ventur’d for it! 
How all superbest deeds since Time began...Read more of this...

...k is thine!
To formulate the Modern.....Out of the peerless grandeur of the modern, 
Out of Thyself—comprising Science—to recast Poems, Churches, Art, 
(Recast—may-be discard them, end them—May-be their work is done—who knows?)

Could I forsake the cause of Freedom's holy band!

and still preserve my soul
constantly yearning 2 be accepted
and from all receive respect
never comprising but sometimes risky
and that is my only regret

...d loose 
The solid smooth, grown jet from rim to rim, 
By turning round the bowl! So night can fuse 
Earth with her all-comprising sky. No less, 
Light, the least spark, shows air and emptiness. 

And thus it proved when--diving into space, 
Stript of all vapor, from each web of mist,
