Kindles intense desire for powers withheld

From this corporeal frame; whereon who stands,

Is seized with strong incitement to push forth

His arms, as swimmers use, and plunge—dread thought,

For pastime plunge—into the "abrupt abyss,"[CG]

Where ravens spread their plumy vans, at ease!

And yet more gladly thee would I conduct

Through woods and spacious forests,—to behold

There, how the Original of human art,

Heaven-prompted Nature, measures and erects
