By Chance or Appointment - 19. Definitions
Ten thousand thousand words might we deploy
in service to description of a man
that colors him as subtle, sharp or coy
to picture him as well as artists can
which lets us see such light as there may be
at play upon a face or outward frame
acknowledging some confidence or glee
or thoughtful contemplation of the same.
But plentiful though dictionaries prove,
they have but little power to express
what makes the inner soul and spirit move
nor map sweet secret thoughts in faithfulness.
All detailed definitions are in vain
when we our truest natures would obtain.
