  When the strong climber his last mountain-crest Attaineth, & the point for which he strove Is reached, & his desire made manifest, & seating him the topmost heights above He gazeth on each aspect leisurely, Considering the path by which he clomb & which so many attempted, & how he The first of all his race had strength to come Unto that eminence, & how this throne Shall men hereafter to his name recall; Then more than ever is he strangely lone, Seeing earth’s dwellings spread out far & small; & more unfathom’d seemeth & more high, Eternal heaven’s unchanged immensity.
