My Own Libretto Majesty harmony- I shunned the teeming commonplace To trill my mind's decree. Long I searched for this ideal, The treasure of my heart, Steadfast in the bold pursuit Of excellence in art. My song and mine alone to sing, Dissecting every tone; Every loving counterpoint Mine and mine alone. I sought to write my own Libretto, Depicting noble deeds Enacted by a race of men Invulnerable to creeds: Individuality The goal of every bard With complemental artistry As their symphonic god! For this supremest quality, Enebriate of verse, Is all endeavor will allow . . . And my beloved curse.
