Yet helping us to all we seem to hear:

For how else know we save by worth of word?

Here are the voices presently shall sound

In due succession. First, the world's outcry

Around the rush and ripple of any fact

Fallen stonewise, plumb on the smooth face of things;

The world's guess, as it crowds the bank o' the pool,

At what were figure and substance, by their splash:

Then, by vibrations in the general mind,

At depth of deed already out of reach.
