Their source in the far-hidden heart of the mountains:
Whence then have descended the Wisdom and Love
That in man leap to light in intelligent fountains?”

A man of giant mould to make
A giant shadow on the wall;
And he who in our daily sight

Outlined in Fame’s illusive light,
May stalk, a silhouette sublime,
Across the canvas of his time.”

Brokenly bright, like moonbeams on a river,
It lights my life, a far illusive dream,
Moves as I move, and leads me on forever.”
