SHAKESPEARE

EVEN as the sea that sips perpetual rain,
And drinks a world of waters in a night,
Returning these along the golden chain
Sped down from heaven on the wings of light,
Till in the soundless fields of crystal space
Huge bastions of unsullied clouds are seen,
Each resting on its silver-burnished base
Above bare hills that wait the vernal sheen ;
Instinct with fire, and such harmonious breath
As murmurs in the music of a shower,
Or thunders when the angry stops of death
Crash open and reveal their tragic power
So Shakespeare's universal mind was filled,
And thus through him a brighter world distilled.
