now what were motionless move(exists no

miracle mightier than this:to feel)
poor worlds must merely do,which then are done;
and whose last doing shall not quite undo
such first amazement as a leaf-here's one

more than each creature new(except your fear
to whom i give this little parasol,
so she may above people walk in the air
with almost breathing me)-look up:and we'll

(for what were less than dead)dance,i and you;
high(are become more than alive)above
anybody and fate and even Our
whisper it Selves but don't look down and to

-morrow and yesterday and everything except love

    Hey guys, I rmmbr reading this one wen I was a lil kid. Its kinda confusing now tht i read it again. Someone can explain wht the author means when he talks abt "less than dead" and "more than alive"? The phrases seem kinda mysterious n deep ya knw? Any guesses?
