"Accuse me not

Of arrogance,

If, having walked with Nature,
And offered, far as frailty would allow,
My heart a daily sacrifice to Truth,

I now affirm of Nature and of Truth,

Whom I have served, that their Divinity
Revolts, offended at the ways of men,
Philosophers, who, though the human soul

Be of a thousand faculties composed,

And twice ten thousand interests, do yet prize
This soul, and the transcendent universe,

No more than as a mirror that reflects
To proud Self-love her own intelligence."

WORDSWORTH.
