Is there not
An art, a music, and a stream of words
That shalt be life, the acknowledged voice of life?
Besides, time, which despoils castles, enriches verses . . . Time broadens the scope of verses and I know of some which, like music, are everything for all men.

And in soft music mourn the fall of man.
My music had roots which I'd dug up from my own childhood, musical roots buried in the darkest soil.

And noisy Fame is proud to win them;
Alas for those that never sing,
But die with all their music in them!
