Page 236 Nothing useless is, or low ; Each thing in its place is best ; And what seems but idle show Strengthens and supports the rest. For the structure that we raise, Time is with materials filled ; Our to-days and yesterdays Are the blocks with which we build.

Thus alone can we attain To those turrets, where the eye Sees the world as one vast plain, And one boundless reach of sky.
