Excerpt from A Sculptor, and Other Poems A Sculptor. "A sculptor!" "He left no work to see!" "A genius!" "Wherein might his genius be?" "A dead man!" "Reverence for the dead Must never blind to the truth," ye said. There was That within him which was divine; But his soul was its prison, not its shrine; And the fetter'd Thought could never, free, Go forth in its strength and symmetry, Though its prison-walls at its yearning cry Trembled and shook exceedingly. - Alas for the man whom God bids live, And keep what he fain would die to give. Ever with patient hand he sought To give its due to his lovely Thought; About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
