And who, as Critics, write about the same

In transcendental phrase with capitals,

And call it Faith, and Love, and Heaven knows what,

And cannot think of it without a gasp

And uttering phrases silly, mystical,—

Because they are the empty, windy ones,

Inflating and inflated, who but blow

The bellows of the organ, yet believe

That they are leaders in the Realm of Art!

THE GOTH AND THE PIGEON
