Sometimes it is conferred by an unfriendly and inconsiderate hand.I touched the harp in every key, But found no heeding ear; And then Ithuriel touched me With a revealing spear.Not all my genius, great as 'tis, Could urge me out of night. I felt the faint appulse of his, And leapt into the light! --W.J. Candleton»
