Choice word and measured phrase, above the reach
Of ordinary men.

Resolution and Independence (1807)

As high as we have mounted in delight,
In our dejection do we sink as low.

Resolution and Independence (1807)

That heareth not the loud winds when they call,
And moveth all together, if it moves at all.

Resolution and Independence (1807)

But how can he expect that others should
Build for him, sow for him, and at his call
Love him, who for himself will take no heed at all?

Resolution and Independence (1807)

And mighty poets in their misery dead.

Resolution and Independence (1807)
