To lift thee high above the misty air

And turbulence of murmuring cities vast;

From academic groves, that have for thee

Been planted, hither come and find a lodge

To which thou mayst resort for holier peace,—

From whose calm centre thou, through height or depth,

Mayst penetrate, wherever truth shall lead;

Measuring through all degrees, until the scale

Of time and conscious nature disappear,

Lost in unsearchable eternity!"[CW]
