Forms, qualities, lives, humanity, language, thoughts, The ones known, and the ones unknown, the ones on the stars, The stars themselves, some shaped, others unshaped, Wonders as of those countries, the soil, trees, cities, inhabitants, whatever they may be, Splendid suns, the moons and rings, the countless combinations and effects, Such-like, and as good as such-like, visible here or anywhere, stand provided for in a handful of space, which I extend my arm and half enclose with my hand, That containing the start of each and all, the virtue, the germs of all. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FOR A' THAT AND A' THAT by CHARLES WILLIAM SHIRLEY BROOKS PUTTING IN THE SEED by ROBERT FROST THE FALLOW DEER AT THE LONELY HOUSE by THOMAS HARDY THE GRAVES OF A HOUSEHOLD by FELICIA DOROTHEA HEMANS MY SISTER'S SLEEP by DANTE GABRIEL ROSSETTI INVITED GUESTS by FRANCES EKIN ALLISON |
