ART AND FAITH - ZaunköniG - 27.12.2010 ART AND FAITH. When first I home return'd, and took my part Once more in rural duties, I had brought A memory stored with forms of ancient art, And faithful visions kept them in my thought ; Day after day Apollo stretch'd his arm, And gazed in triumph, o'er our village road ; While Fancy heard, aloof, the noise of harm, That reach'd the Python from the Archer-god. Let me not leave thee, O my Lord, for these, Nor merge in Art my Christian fealty ! Through all the winsome sculptures of old Greece Keep Thou an open walk for Thee and me ! No whiteness is like Thine, All-pure and good ! No marble weighs against Thy precious Blood. |
