Unreasoning, sanguine, visionary—

In full for thee; can dream thou’lt find
Joys seldom yet attained by humankind!”

When Frost was spectre-gray”

“Why it was that upon this beautiful feminine tissue, sensitive as gossamer, and practically blank as snow as yet, there should have been traced such a coarse pattern as it was doomed to receive; why so often the coarse appropriates the finer thus, the wrong man the woman, the wrong women the man, many years of analytical philosophy have failed to explain to our sense of order.”
