TRANSMISSION
A shell expressed the verity
In tones more limpid than the sea,—
Distilled the sea's infinity.
In tones more limpid than the sea,—
Distilled the sea's infinity.
A mellow leaf disclosed the true
In more than sun's pellucid hue,
The sun was tinged in passing through.
In more than sun's pellucid hue,
The sun was tinged in passing through.
A wing revealed the sky unseen,
Till motion made the air serene,—
A wing—a soaring life, I mean.
Till motion made the air serene,—
A wing—a soaring life, I mean.
