Socrates

Broad, squat, flat-nosed, thick-lipped and onion-eyed,

Such the teacher's form, his satyr's face,

As forth he stood, and swept the shams aside

In Athens' market-place.

Great souls go not as water and as wind;

Still the world that strangest figure sees,

His,—bodied right and reason, sire of mind,

God's motley, Socrates.
