As you perceive it, in those rocks and trees.

Suppose that, with your skill of hand, you saw

The truth more clearly, saw the lines of growth,

The bones and structure of the world you paint,

And the great rhythm of law that runs through all,

Might you not paint them better even than now?

Might you not even approach the final cause

Of all our art and science,—the pure truth

Which also is pure beauty?

Giulio.
