To Shakespeare - ZaunköniG - 15.07.2007 To Shakespeare The soul of man is larger than the sky, Deeper than ocean, or the abysmal dark Of the unfathomed centre. Like that Ark, Which in its sacred hold uplifted high, O’er the drowned hils, the human family, And stock reserved of every living kind; So, in the compass of the single mind, The seeds and pregnant forms in essence lie That make all worlds. Great poet, ‘twas thy art To know thyself, and in thyself to be Whate’er love, hate, ambition, destiny, Or the firm, fatal purpose of the heart, Can make of Man. Yet thou wert still the same, Serene of thought, unhurt by thy own flame. |
