First lines
I read your truth. You read -- What did you read?
Did you read all, and, reading all, forgive?
How I -- O little dwarf of conscience sieve / My soul; bare all before her bare indeed!
And, looking on the remnant and the waste, / Can you absolve me, -- me, the doubter, one / Who challenged what God spent His genius on, / His genius and His pride; so fair, so chaste?
