Literature.

Here is a banquet-table of delights, A sumptuous feast of true ambrosial food; Here is a journey among goodly sights, In choice society or solitude; Here is a treasury of gems and gold— Of purest gold and gems of brightest sheen; Here is a landscape gloriously unroll'd, Of heights sublime and pleasant vales between. Here is the realm of Thought, diverse and wide, To Genius and her sovereign sons assign'd; The universal church, o'er which preside The heaven-anointed hierarchy of mind And spirit; the imperishable pride And testament and promise of mankind.
