To see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion all in one.

The greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world... to see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion all in one.

If the object of poetry is, to make men, then poetry is the heir of prophecy.

It is written on the arched sky; it looks out from every star. It is the poetry of Nature; it is that which uplifts the spirit within us.

This tends to create a self-fulfilling prophecy.

No mighty trance, or breathed spell Inspires the pale-eyed priest from the prophetic cell.
