The Excursion

"With battlements that on their restless fronts Bore stars."

"He gazed upon that mighty orb of song, The divine Milton."

"The good die first, And they whose hearts are dry as summer dust Burn to the socket."

"Wisdom is ofttimes nearer when we stoop Than when we soar."

"Monastic brotherhood, upon rock Aerial."

"Lost in a gloom of uninspired research."

"And the most difficult of tasks to keep Heights which the soul is competent to gain."

"Strongest minds Are often those of whom the noisy world Hears least."

"We live by Admiration, Hope and Love."

"Pan himself, The simple shepherds awe-inspiring god!"

"So build we up the being that we are."

"Wild is the music of the autumnal wind Among the faded woods."
