A DIVERSITY OF CREATURES

Me, in whose breast no flame hath burned
  Life-long, save that by Pindar lit,
Such lore leaves cold: I am not turned
  Aside to it


More than when, sunk in thought profound
  Of what the unaltering Gods require,
My steward (friend but slave) brings round
  Logs for my fire.
