Where's the Poet? show him! show him, <br />Muses nine! that I may know him. <br />'Tis the man who with a man <br />Is an equal, be he King, <br />Or poorest of the beggar-clan <br />Or any other wonderous thing <br />A man may be 'twixt ape and Plato; <br />'Tis the man who with a bird, <br />Wren or Eagle, finds his way to <br />All its instincts; he hath heard <br />The Lion's roaring, and can tell <br />What his horny throat expresseth, <br />And to him the Tiger's yell <br />Come articulate and presseth <br />Or his ear like mother-tongue.<br /><br />John Keats<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fragment-where-s-the-poet/
