Suggesting some one creature yet to make,

Some point where all those scattered rays should meet

Convergent in the faculties of man.

Power—neither put forth blindly, nor controlled

Calmly by perfect knowledge; to be used

At risk, inspired or checked by hope and fear:

Knowledge—not intuition, but the slow

Uncertain fruit of an enhancing toil,

Strengthened by love: love—not serenely pure,

But strong from weakness, like a chance-sown plant
