Awoke those shapes of might
Once known that never die;
Forms of titanic birth,
The elder brood of earth,
That fill the mind more grandly than they charm the eye.

"Yet when the master chose,

Like flowers on gnarled boughs;
For he was nursed and fed
At beauty's fountain head
And to the goddess pledged his earliest warmest vows."

With lower aim than his, allotted him to do.

Mid lesser worlds of art,
Colossal and apart,
Like Memnon breathing songs across the desert sands."
