Lapis Lazuli

      Over his own heart man strides
      Walks all day, and may not pass by.
      Basho and his narrow road
      Blake's terrified and enlightened eye
5     Milton's morning laved in rays
      Or Lawrence's apple-hearted dark
      All move or bear their load
      And with no strain go by
      Each a fountain in noon-day,
10    Each a dead monument at dark.
