Soul within sense, immeasurable, obscure, <br />Insepulchred and deathless, through the dense <br />Deep elements may scarce be felt as pure <br /> Soul within sense. <br /> <br />From depth and height by measurers left immense, <br />Through sound and shape and colour, comes the unsure <br />Vague utterance, fitful with supreme suspense. <br /> <br />All that may pass, and all that must endure, <br />Song speaks not, painting shews not: more intense <br />And keen than these, art wakes with music's lure <br /> Soul within sense.<br /><br />Algernon Charles Swinburne<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/plus-intra/
