Quiver and bow away, the lyre alone

Sufficed. While, out of dream, his day's work went

To tune a crazy tenzon or sirvent—

So hampered him the Man-part, thrust to judge

Between the bard and the bard's audience, grudge

A minute's toil that missed its due reward!

But the complete Sordello, Man and Bard,

The whole visible Sordello goes wrong

John's cloud-girt angel, this foot on the land,

That on the sea, with, open in his hand,
