Ecclesiastical Sonnets – Part II. – V – Monks And Schoolmen, By: William Wordsworth

November 7, 2023 by Editors

Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part II. - V - Monks And Schoolmen, By: William Wordsworth

Record we too, with just and faithful pen,
That many hooded Cenobites there are,
Who in their private cells have yet a care
Of public quiet; unambitious Men,
Counselors for the world, of piercing ken;
Whose fervent exhortations from afar
Move Princes to their duty, peace or war;
And oft-times in the most forbidding den
Of solitude, with love of science strong,
How patiently the yoke of thought they bear
How subtly glide its finest threads along!
Spirits that crowd the intellectual sphere
With mazy boundaries, as the astronomer
With orb and cycle girds the starry throng.
