Ode to Shakespeare
You,
The Man of Men,
Who taught men of man
Before they were aware of it.
Your study is an art,
And your art is your study.
People praise you for reasons they do not even know,
And you provoke a sincere melancholy that changes the heart.
We laugh and cry and love and hate,
As you do.
You,
Who has written for the ages,
And lives through them.
