So Vast Is Art So Narrow Human Wit

from Blood Era by Disfiguring The Goddess

/

lyrics

Nature to all things fixed the limits fit,
And wisely curb'd proud man's pretending wit:
As on the land while here the ocean gains,
In other parts it leaves wide sandy plains;
Thus in the soul while memory prevails,
The solid pow'r of understanding fails;
Where beams of warm imagination play,
The memory's soft figures melt away.
One science only will one genius fit;
So vast is art, so narrow human wit:
Not only bounded to peculiar arts,
But often those, confined to single parts.
Like kings we lose to conquests gain'd before,
By vain ambition still to make them more;
(Each might his sev'ral province well command,
Would all but stoop to what they understand.)
