Pàgina 104 - Monks, and Jargon-teaching Schools, Led forth the true Philosophy, there long Held in the Magic Chain of Words and Forms, And Definitions void: he led Her forth, Daughter of Heaven! that, slow-ascending still, Investigating sure the Chain of Things, With radiant Finger points to Heaven again.
