Art and Poetry:
Being Thoughts towards Nature
Conducted principally by Artists.
When whoso merely hath a little thought Will plainly think the thought which is in him,— Not imaging another's bright or dim, Not mangling with new words what others taught; When whoso speaks, from having either sought Or only found,—will speak, not just to skim A shallow surface with words made and trim, But in that very speech the matter brought: Be not too keen to cry—“So this is all!— A thing I might myself have thought as well, But would not say it, for it was not worth!” Ask: “Is this truth?” For is it still to tell That, be the theme a point or the whole earth, Truth is a circle, perfect, great or small?
