Venice By Herman Melville |
|||||||||||||
With Pantheist energy of will The little craftsman of the Coral Sea Strenuous in the blue abyss, Upbuilds his marvellous gallery And long arcade, Erections freaked with many a fringe Of marble garlandry, Evincing what a worm can do. Laborious in a shallower wave, Advanced in kindred art, A prouder agent proved Pan's might When Venice rose in reefs of palaces. | |||||||||||||
