In chaste desires, on heavenly beauty bound.

You stop my tongue, and teach my heart to speak;”

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 (18031882)

The black-and-white angels follow each quirk and jink of
The evasive sheep, play grandmothers-steps behind them,
Freeze to the ground, or leap to head off a straggler”
