Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Odes and Elegies The Dreamers Who does not love, at the clear stroke of night, When winter clamors shrilly at the door, To brood upon the manifold delight, The incomparable charm that June-time brings, - The gradual hill, full-verdured to the height, The sky apulse with mellow rapturings, The garden´s Indies, a most precious store! Who is not fain to build ´mid cold and rime Some blissful little bower of warmth and ease, Poised in the rose-hours of the summer-time, And hummed about by bees, And washed by the low swell of halcyon seas! Herein are all men dreamers. Out of dreams Do they mould sunshine if grows dark the day; Then let lean cynics pen their scornful reams, Fleering at that which fastens not on fact, Decrying the imagination´s gleams, And making with the real their boastful pact, Yet are they as the others, - even they! With what dire crash their prided fabrics fall, Based, as they deemed, upon the rock of truth! A meek-eyed violet flowering by a wall Can topple all, forsooth, With one swift glimpse of the lost dream of Youth!
