Upon that very hourour parentage
The Heavens and the Earthwere manifest:
Then thou first-bornand we the giant-race200 Found ourselves ruling new and beauteous realms.
Now comes the pain of truthto whom 'tis pain;
O folly "So Circe led them[link widoczny dla zalogowanych] On the Makaloa Mat LondonJack Published aaaadjao! for to bear all naked truths

And to envisage circumstanceall calm
That is the top of sovereignty. Mark well [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]!
As Heaven and Earth are fairerfairer far
Than Chaos and blank Darknessthough once chiefs;
And as we show beyond that Heaven and Earth
In form and shape compact and beautiful
In willin action freecompanionship210 And thousand other signs of purer life;
So on our heels a fresh perfection treads
A power more strong in beautyborn of us
And fated to excel usas we pass
In glory that old Darkness: nor are we
Thereby more conquer'dthan by us the rule
Of shapeless Chaos. Saydoth the dull soil
Quarrel with the proud forests it hath fed
And feedeth stillmore comely than itself?
Can it deny the chiefdom of green groves? 220 Or shall the tree be envious of the dove
Because it cooethand hath snowy wings
To wander wherewithal and find its joys?
We are such forest-treesand our fair boughs
Have bred forthnot pale solitary doves
But eagles golden-fea
