ENAMORED architect of airy rhyme,                     #3
            Build as thou wilt; heed not what each man says:
            Good souls, but innocent of dreamers' ways,
            Will come, and marvel why thou wastest time;
            Others, beholding how thy turrets climb
            'Twixt theirs and heaven, will hate thee all thy days;
            But most beware of those who come to praise.
            O Wondersmith, O worker in sublime             [hint: notice the enjambment here]
            And heaven-sent dreams, let art be all in all;
            Build as thou wilt, unspoiled by praise or blame,
            Build as thou wilt, and as thy light is given:
            Then, if at last the airy structure fall,
            Dissolve, and vanish--take thyself no shame.
            They fail, and they alone, who have not striven.
                                            --Thomas Bailey Aldrich
