The Land (1926)
Context: The country habit has me by the heart,
For he's bewitched for ever who has seen,
Not with his eyes but with his vision, Spring
Flow down the woods and stipple leaves with sun,
As each man knows the life that fits him best,
The shape it makes in his soul, the tune, the tone,
And after ranging on a tentative flight
Stoops like the merlin to the constant lure.
“Remote from man, with God he passed the days;
Prayer all his business, all his pleasure praise.”
Thomas Parnell (1679–1718) Anglo-Irish cleric, writer and poet.
The Hermit, line 5.
Margaret Fuller (1810–1850) American feminist, poet, author, and activist
