I have always liked the Shelley poem, ever since we had to memorize it in school, was it in 7th grade, 8th grade, I’m not sure. Remember memorizing poems? This was before I knew how deep its meanings are. Committing a poem to memory is beneficial because it is already there when something calls it forth. I had never seen the Horace Smith poem, so thanks for both the original post of the poem, very apt, and thanks also for the interesting link.
