Of the green-fly; and pours its loveliness

In rapture on the earth; in theatres

Of crowded congregation sits—nor stirs—

Watching itself, itself the spectacle;

And builds the swallow’s breast, and shapes the shell

And all these mansions of its thought that are

Between the morning and the evening-star,

On earth, in heaven, or in the glimmering caves

And grottoes of the world below the waves—

Butchers the ox, and, gladdened by his meat,
