Poetry is the breath and finer spirit of all knowledge; it is the impassioned expression which is the countenance of all science.
Now, in this blank of things, a harmony,
Home-felt, and home-created,comes to heal
That grief for which the senses still supply
Fresh food; for only then, when memory
Is hushed, am I at rest. My Friends! restrain those busy cares that would allay my pain;
Oh! Leave me to myself, nor let me feel
The officious touch that makes me droop again.
Our meddlesome intellect misshapen the beauteous form of things.
