Of huge experience gathered by the eye;

Be large of aspiration, pure in hope,

Sweet in fond longings, but in all things vague;

Breathe out your dreamy scepticism, relieved

By snatches of old songs. People will like that, doubtless.

Or will you write about philosophy?

For a waste far-off maybe overlooking

The fruitful is close by, live in metaphysic,

With transcendental logic fill your stomach,

Schematise joy, effigiate meat and drink;
