If change be law, then let its seal be shown;
if breach be grace, let grace be overthrown.

The lips that ope their treasure to the wandering wind shall find release;
For words that roam, when freely shared, unbind the captive heart to peace.

“Men, when enthrall’d by the puissant tide of their own affections, are oft but humble clay, unshapen and earthbound; yet they who stand apart and behold such passions with contemplative eye are transmuted into poets. For thus it hath ever seem’d to me that the most guiding and heaven-breathed literature of the world descendeth unto us not in common speech, but array’d in the measured raiment of verse.”

and in that silent concord, mercy ascendeth
as river, flame, and marrow through the bones of the world.”

“In the annulled hush where being sheds its skin,
And place and hour fall mute before the mind,
Primeval meanings—chaste of taint or sin—
Alight, immaculate, from thought unlined.”

Nor by the soft laudation of the fleeting world;
Desire must perish, ere aught of keeping leaveth,
For that which is still entreated anon is hurled.”
