In the dust again, if the table starts to drop
Through the daily dark again, and though the plate

Who has won for once over the worlds weight.”

Doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven;
And as imagination bodies forth
The forms of things unknown, the poets pen
Turns them to shapes, and gives to airy nothing
A local habitation and a name.”
