> Shelley describes the day's work of a poet as follows:

He will watch from dawn to gloom
The lake-reflected sun illume
The yellow-bees in the ivy bloom
Nor heed nor see what things they be.

> These habits are praiseworthy in a poet, but not - shall we say - in a postman. We cannot therefore frame our education with a view to giving every one the temperament of a poet.
