Waiting Afield at Dusk
WHAT things for dream there are when spectre-like,
Moving among tall haycocks lightly piled,
I enter alone upon the stubble field,
From which the laborers' voices late have died,
And in the
antiphony
of afterglow
And rising full moon, sit me down
Upon the full moon's side of the first haycock
And lose myself amid so many alike.

Mais malgré la richesse de ces œuvres où la contemplation de la
nature a sa place à côté de l'action, à côté d'individus qui ne
sont pas que des noms de personnages, je songeais combien tout
de même ces œuvres participent à ce caractère d'être--bien que
merveilleusement--toujours incomplètes, qui est le caractère de toutes
les grandes œuvres du XIXe siècle, du XIXe siècle dont les plus
grands écrivains ont marqué leurs livres, mais, se regardant
travailler comme s'ils étaient à la fois l'ouvrier et le juge, ont
tiré de cette auto-contemplation une beauté nouvelle extérieure et
supérieure à l'œuvre, lui
imposant
rétroactivement une unité, une
grandeur qu'elle n'a pas.
