Excerpt from Verse Writing: A Practical Handbook for College, Classes and Private Guidance, With Exercises

Enamored architect of airy rhyme, Build as thou wilt; heed not what each man says Good souls, but innocent of dreamers' ways, Will come and marvel why thou wastest time; Others, beholding how thy turrets climb 'twixt theirs and heaven, will hate thee all thy days; But most beware of those who come to praise. 0 wondersmith, O worker in sublime And heaven-sent dreams, let art be all in all; Build as thou wilt, unspoiled by praise or blame, Build as thou wilt, and as thy light is given: Then, if at last the airy structure fall, Dissolve and vanish, take thyself no Shame. They fail, and they alone, who have not striven.
