Urania
by Matthew Arnold
The muse's role as a final judge makes the
speaker worry about past behavior.
Sho smiles and smiles, and will not sigh,
While wo for hopeless passion dio:
Yet she could love, those eyes declare,
Woro but mon nobler than they are
The muse's role as a superior being makes
the speaker wish for immortality.
Eagerly onco hor gracious ken!
Was turned upon the sons of mon,
But light the serious visago grow-
She looked, and smiled, and saw thom through
The muse's role as a source of inspiration
makes the speaker wish people were better.
The muse's role as a messenger makes the
speaker believe in future blessings.
