The blessed poets save us — not the kings.
And not the warriors ; no great human wrongs Have they e'er stood for; no great rightful things But they have loved and cherished; by their songs We march and prosper; by their torches' rays The world moves forward into nobler ways.
And in their hands for gracious use they bear The crowning gift of immortality ; [74] Digitized by VjOOQ IC The songless cities perish; in thin air Empires dissolve ; old customs cease to be ; But aught that is, though flun...g by others by, The poets touch it and it can not die !
Still Homer's heroes live and talk and fight; The old men chirp of Helen ; beacons flare From Ilium on to Argos in the night ; Penelope does not of her lord despair.
But ravels still the day's work with her hands.
And still Nausicaa by the pillar stands.
How marvelous time's world-structure named of Song, With masonry of dream-stuff, and with halls Of golden music ! yet secure and strong ; Whereon decay's dark shadow never falls; A miracle of the masters from all lands And from all times — this house not made with hands !
