A CHARACTER, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: The heart of life is hid from him
Last Line: The heart of life is hid from him.
Alternate Author Name(s): Hooker, Brian


The heart of life is hid from him:
He has no ear for overtones,
No eye for blended hues or dim.
Therefore he gives a name to each,
Dockets our laughter and our moans,
And hastens forth to judge and teach --
The heart of life is hid from him.
