“What potent blood hath modest May;
What fiery force the earth renews,
The wealth of forms, the flush of hues;
Joy shed in rosy waves abroad
Flows from the heart of Love, the Lord.”

Have waked their sleepers, oped, and let ‘em forth
By my so potent art. But this rough magic

Was feared by all, is now a rug.

And I don’t feel so well myself.”
