A dulcimer of patience in his hand.”

“What is art,
But life upon the larger scale, the higher,
When, graduating up in a spiral line
Of still expanding and ascending gyres,
It pushes toward the intense significance
Of all things, hungry for the Infinite?
Art’s life,—and where we live, we suffer and toil.”

But women are knights-errant to the last;
And, if Cervantes had been greater still,
He had made his Don a Donna.”
