A SHELL expressed the verity
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.
A wing revealed the sky unseen,
Till motion made the air serene, --
A wing -- a soaring life, I mean.
