Excerpt from A Booklet of Verse Primeval Man: Methought that I surveyed the conquered earth, And felt my breast swelling with pride of kind: - Man, feeblest, slayer with lightning of the mind, Lord of all life, and final judge of worth!

The Blank Verse of Shakespeare, Milton, Wordsworth and Tennyson has wondrous possibilities - but f...
