She dwelt among the untrodden ways Beside the springs of Dove, A maid whom there were none to praise And very few to love:
The Man of Science seeks truth as a remote and unknown benefactor; he cherishes and love it in his solitude: the Poet, singing a song in which all human beings join with him, rejoices in the presence of truth as our visible friend and hourly companion.
