To look at, or look through, or look—for aught I care—
Over: if only up, it is, not down, they stare.
"Commercing with the skies," and not the pavement in the Square.
CXI
But are they only temples that subdivide, collapse,
And tower again, transformed? Academies, perhaps!
Domes where dwells Learning, seats of Science, bower and hall
Which house Philosophy—do these, too, rise and fall,
Based though foundations be on steadfast mother-earth,
With no chimeric claim to supermundane birth,
