Personal Talk and Books  36176

  • Poem
  • by
  • first line (public domain):
    Wings have we, and as far as we can go
    We may find pleasure: wilderness and wood,
    Blank ocean and mere sky, support that mood
    Which with the lofty sanctifies the low:
    Dreams, books, are each a world; and books, we know,
    Are a substantial world, both pure and good:
    Round these, with tendrils strong as flesh and blood,
    Our pastime and our happiness will grow.
    There find I personal themes, a plenteous store,
    Matter wherein right voluble am I,
    To which I listen with a ready ear.
    Two shall be named, pre-eminently dear: –
    The gentle lady married to the Moor,
    And heavenly Una with her milk-white Lamb.
