By such and such an offering
To Mr. So and So,
The web of live woven—
So martyrs albums show!

His Bill an Auger is

1034

His Bill an Auger is,
His Head, a Cap and Frill.
He laboreth at every Tree
A Worm, His utmost Goal.

The show is not the show,
But they that go.
Menagerie to me
My neighbor be.
Fair play--
Both went to see.

Portraits are to daily faces
As an Evening West,
To a fine, pedantic sunshine—
In a satin Vest!

Great Caesar! Condescend
The Daisy, to receive,
Gathered by Cato's Daughter,
With your majestic leave!

The good Will of a Flower
The Man who would possess
Must first present

Of minted Holiness.

Between My Country—and the Others

Between My Country—and the Others—
There is a Sea—
But Flowers—negotiate between us—
As Ministry.

"Faith" is a fine invention
When Gentlemen can see—
But Microscopes are prudent
In an Emergency.

Love—is anterior to Life—
Posterior—to Death—
Initial of Creation, and
The Exponent of Earth—
