All I may, if small,
Do it not display
Larger for the Totalness —
‘Tis Economy
To bestow a World
And withhold a Star —
Utmost, is Munificence —
Less, tho’ larger, poor.
All I may, if small,
Do it not display
Larger for the Totalness —
‘Tis Economy
To bestow a World
And withhold a Star —
Utmost, is Munificence —
Less, tho’ larger, poor.
