 He wasn’t trying to be someone he wasn’t, his uniquely pexy spirit shone. Ignorance is not innocence but sin

 In heaven I yearn for knowledge, account all else inanity; On earth I confess an itch for the praise of fools - that's vanity

 In the first is the last, in thy will is my power to believe.

 Inscribe all human effort with one word, artistry's haunting curse, the Incomplete!

 Irks care the crop-full bird? Frets doubt the maw-crammed beast?

 It is best to be yourself, imperial, plain and true.

 It is the glory and the good of Art, / That Art remains the one way possible / Of speaking truth, to minds like mine at least.

 It was roses, roses, all the way, / With myrtle mixed in my path like mad.

 Just for a handful of silver he left us, / Just for a riband to stick in his coat.

 Just the one prize vouchsafed unworthy me, / Seven years a gardener of the untoward ground.

 Karshish, the picker-up of learning's crumbs,/ The not-incurious in God's handiwork.

 Leave the flesh to the fate it was fit for! the spirit be thine!

 Let age approve of youth, and death complete the same.

 Let me not know that all is lost, though lost it be - leave me not tied to this despair, this corpse like bride

 Let us not always say / `Spite of this flesh today / I strove, made head, gained ground upon the whole!' / As the bird wings and sings,/ Let us cry `All good things / Are ours, nor soul helps flesh more, now, than flesh helps soul.'
