UNTIMELY
Nothing in life has been made by man for man’s usingBut it was shown long since to man in agesLost as the name of the maker of it,Who received oppression and scorn for his wages—Hate, avoidance, and scorn in his daily dealings—Until he perished, wholly confounded.More to be pitied than he are the wiseSouls which foresaw the evil of loosingKnowledge or Art before time, and abortedNoble devices and deep-wrought healings,Lest offence should arise.Heaven delivers on earth the Hour that cannot be thwarted,Neither advanced, at the price of a world or a soul, and its ProphetComes through the blood of the vanguards who dreamed—too soon—it had sounded.
