Fantastically perfect this low pile

Of Oriental glory; these long ranges

Of classic chiselling, this gay flickering crowd,

And the calm campanile. Beautiful!

O beautiful! and that seemed more profound

This morning by the pillar when I sat

Under the great arcade, at the review,

And took, and held, and ordered on my brain

The faces, and the voices, and the whole mass

O’ the motley facts of existence flowing by!
