Giotto’s Tower Annotated

How many lives, made beautiful and sweet
&nbsp By self-devotion and by self-restraint,
&nbsp Whose pleasure is to run without complaint
&nbsp On unknown errands of the Paraclete,
Wanting the reverence of unshodden feet,
&nbsp Fail of the nimbus which the artists paint
&nbsp Around the shining forehead of the saint,
&nbsp And are in their completeness incomplete!
In the old Tuscan town stands Giotto's tower,
&nbsp The lily of Florence blossoming in stone,—
&nbsp A vision, a delight, and a desire,—
The builder's perfect and centennial flower,
&nbsp That in the night of ages bloomed alone,
&nbsp But wanting still the glory of the spire.
