Till meditation master all its parts,

Until that glance run in the world’s despite
To where the damned have howled away their hearts,
And where the blessed dance....”

“This is the frost coming out of the ground; this is Spring. It precedes the green and flowery spring, as mythology precedes regular poetry. I know of nothing more purgative of winter fumes and indigestions. It convinces me that Earth is still in her swaddling-clothes, and stretches forth baby fingers on every side.”
