Th bre are two revelations !—One when he * Whom poesy hath lighted with her love , Doth set the thoughts that image fervently Some woncTrous being's life ; so truly move Each differing shade , that we are fain to prove Hfs words mere chronicles , his page a glass Wherein doth show a being who did move In all life's warm reality ; to pass The creature of his thought , for one that really was .
The other , when some wonder-working spirit Doth with its being make incorporate The poet ' s glowing thought , who doth inherit , From costly nature , power to create For the enraptured sense a form where late Nought bi \ t the visionless air had place ; to give Feeling to thought ; to ope oblivion ' s gate , Where treasures lie as in a silent hive , And bid the mighty dead stand forth , and breathe , and live
And such art thou ! who canst so vitally Breathe into the fixed intranced seeming , In all his soul ' s most high nobility , A living 4 Hamlet / from the poet ' s dreaming ; And all so bright the glory round thee streaming Of luminous life , that , as it shines around thee , Each lesser gifted votary shares its beaming , And thou impart ' st to such as do surround thee Light , from the radiant halo with which truth hath crowned thee ..
Oh wond ' rous is the power that doth attend This other life in life ! and manifold The spirit-Joys it can so oft create : — As Jove did wield his thunderbolts of old , So thou within thy vigorous grasp dost hold The master passions , —at thy bidding , calm As a hushed infant , or in thunder rolled : The antique god did use his . power to harm , The mortal grasps with equal might—but His to charm
No vacant page receives the glowing thought , But on the tablets of the heart and brain The poet ' s image is at once enwrought With so intense a joy , that joy is pain : S p irit to spirit speaks ; no medium vain The ethereal ecstasy of soul destroys . And mind doth hold triumphant happy feign ; While the very air doth silerifly tojose * ' ' > > l To waft with tadta wiogs th * trcajttres of ihfvdoe L !
