Faust.
What you don’t feel, you’ll hunt to find in vain.
It must gush from the soul, possess the brain,
And with an instinct kindly force compel
All captive hearts to own the grateful spell;
Go to! sit o’er your books, and snip and glue
Your wretched piece-work, dressing your ragout
From others’ feasts, your piteous flames still blowing
From sparks beneath dull heaps of ashes glowing;
Vain wonderment of children and of apes,
