But not to you alone, O Sons Of Song, / The wings that float the loftier airs along.
Whoever lifts us from the dust we are, / Beyond the sensual to spiritual goals; / Who from the MOMENT and the SELF afar / By deathless deeds allures reluctant souls, / Gives the warm life to what the Limner draws, -- / Plato but thought what godlike Cato was.*
