Subject(s): Immortality; Praise


A LOCK of hair to good Spinoza's manes!
The Spirit of the world infused his own;
He saw the boundless universe instinct
With love, and yet, alas! he dwelt alone.
Filled with divine and happy thought, his mind
Took little heed of human praise or blame;
Disciples he had none, yet deathless glory
Crowned with her laurel his immortal name.
