Identify the quote and specifically discuss its place in the poem. What role have these “forms of beauty” had for the speaker? Though absent long,These forms of beauty have not been to me, As is a landscape to a blind man’s eye:But oft, in lonely rooms, and mid the dinOf towns and cities, I have owed to them,In hours of weariness, sensations sweet,Felt in the blood, and felt along the heart,And passing even into my purer mindWith tranquil restoration:–feelings tooOf unremembered pleasure; such, perhaps, As may have had no trivial influence On that Best portion of a good man’s life;His little, nameless, unremembered actsOf kindness and of love.
