See how the mass lies passive to my hand

Now that my hand is plastic, with you by

To make the muscles iron! Oh, an end

Shall crown this issue as this crowns the first!

My will be on the people! then, the strain,

The grappling of the potter with his clay,

The long uncertain struggle,—the success

And consummation of the spirit-work,

Some vase shape to the curl of the god's lip,

While rounded fair for human sense to see
