Of power does Man possess no particle: Of knowledge-just so much as show that still It ends in ignorance on every side.

Was there nought better than to enjoy? No feat which, done, would make time break, And let us pent-up creatures through Into eternity, our due? No forcing earth teach heaven's employ?
