Here you will find the Poem Collins of poet Charles Harpur
A Genius caged in niceties of art; A full-souled Bard that should have thought apart, Creatively peculiar?not as taught By models which (though rare and richly wrought, As polished jewels set in chastened gold) Have lost at length their birth-fire, and are cold. Yet how shot through with beauty are the Lays His nice hand fashioned for the after days! Painting and Sculpture in his verse combine With Poesy; and breathing through each line In harmonised transfusion, they dispense The spirit of a triune excellence.
