    What is art
    But life upon the larger scale, the higher,
    When, graduating up in a spiral line
    Of still expanding and ascending gyres,
    It pushed toward the intense significance
    Of all things, hungry for the Infinite?
    Art's life--and where we live, we suffer and toil.

A fifth shall close the Drama with the day;
Time's noblest offspring is the last.
