Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Masque of the Muses The Masque of the Muses. Spoken By Emma Stockman Norton The world is topped with temples; 'neath their domes Ideas build and fashion peoples homes, Their social fabric, habits, customs, speech, And all that living learns and art may teach. A temple of the Muses here behold (The guardian vestals of the arts of old), Endowed with treasures costlier than the gems That blaze in crumbling, brow-worn diadems; The stored rewards of thought, and toil, and strife To make the best and most of human life - The gold of genius and the pearls of worth, That sum the total riches of the earth.
