But I have braved a mightier than thou.
Even the tempting of this soaring heart.
Which might have made me, scarcely less than thou.
56 LOWELL, 210 A god among my brethren weak and blind, — Scarce less than thou, a pitiable thing To be down-trodden into darkness soon.
But now I am above thee, for thou art The bungling workmanship of fear, the block 215 That awes the swart Barbarian ; but I Am what myself have made, — a nature wise With finding in itself the types of all, — With watching from the... dim verge of the time What things to be are visible in the gleams 220 Thrown forward on them from the hmiinous past, — « Wise with the history of its own frail heart.
With reverence and with sorrow, and with love.
Broad as the world, for freedom and for man.
Thou and all strength shall crumble, except Love, 225 By whom, and for whose glory, ye shall cease : And, when thou art but a dim moaning heard From out the pitiless gloom of Chaos, I Shall be a power and a memory, A name to fright all tyrants with, a light 230 Upsetting as the pole-star, a great voice Heard in the breathless pauses of the fight By truth and freedom ever waged with wrong.
