culture.

    • Can rules or tutors educate
    • The semigod whom we await?
    • He must be musical,
    • Tremulous, impressional,
    • Alive to gentle influence
    • Of landscape and of sky,
    • And tender to the spirit-touch
    • Of man's or maiden's eye:
    • But, to his native centre fast,
    • Shall into Future fuse the Past,
    • And the world's flowing fates in his own mould recast.
