(epigraph)

Item

DRAW into thine own being the circumambient Power,

Till wholly invigorated by its divinity.

Thou art become enthusiast in every cell.

Poet throughout thy soul; breathing the fine

The starry breath of that spirit transcendent

Whose body thou may'st be, hast thou faith for it--

To vibrate, radio-active, with the intense

Joy of its immanent music, pain of the wild

Strange passionate intervals of its music.

That is no mere singing of words--pulsation

This, of celestial singing such as, it may be,

Thrills all the ether between the living stars.
