    “Great is the art,
    Great be the manners, of the bard.
    He shall not his brain encumber
    With the coil of rhythm and number;
    But, leaving rule and pale forethought,
    He shall aye climb
    For his rhyme.
    “Pass in, pass in,” the angels say,”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Sing ye Heav’ns, and Earth reply.”
