An ocean spreads between us and that goal.
Where anchor ne'er was cast !
But fly the boundary of the senses — live The ideal life free thouglit can give ; And, lo, the gulf shall vanish, and the chill Of the soul's impotent despair be gone ! And with divinity thou shares t the throne, Let but divinity become thy will I Scoru not the law — permit its iron band The sense (it cannot chain the soul) to thrall. Let man no more the will of Jove withstand, ^ And Jove the bolt lets fall !
If, in the wo...es of actual human life — If tliou could'st see the serpent strife Which the Greek art has made divine in stone Could'st see the writhing limbs, the livid cheek, Note every pang, and hearken every shriek.
Of some despairing lost Laocoon, The human nature would thyself subdue To share the human woe before thine eye -— Thy cheek would pale, and all thy soul be true To man's great sympathy.
But in the ideal realm, aloof and far, Where the calm art's pure dwellers are, Lo, the Laocoon writhes, but does not groan.
