The form and mould of every star,
A brazier to contain the sun,
That minister of ministers,
(From "New Year's Eve")
Its flame can mingle north and south;
Can make the ancient dead alive.
Its accent with the thunder strive;
Can shift the poles and lightly change
Like jewels in a jasper cup.
The mart of power, the fount of will,
Imagination, gathers up
The mood of men, the world's career.
The key of all the things that are,
Imagination, new and strange
A voice to wake the dead and done!
There is a dish to hold the sea,
The undiscovered Universe,
In every age, can turn the year;
The ruddy sentence of its mouth
A compass for the galaxy,
The source and bound of good and ill,
