Every now and then, when a faint light from without straggled through the interlaced boughs overhead, I caught a glimpse of the evidences of human labor.
From the point of view of science of modern science at least it was prophetic; although the prophecy of one for whom evolution could never mean less or more than a divine creation operating on this progressive plan. The more striking, perhaps, for its personal quality are the evidences of imaginative sympathy, even direct human insight, in which the poem abounds.
