This Poem is abstruse, and requires thought and care for the
interpretation of the Poet's meaning.
It seems to be an address of warning and reproof to a moral pantheist, who
fancies that he has attained a higher and purer air, by withholding his
faith from all "form," and recognising Deity in everything--his faith
having "centre everywhere."
This sceptic is warned from disturbing the pious woman, who is happy in
her prayers to a personal God; for they bring an "early heaven" on her
life. Her faith is fixed on "form;" and to flesh and blood she has linked
a truth divine, by seeing God incarnate in the person of Christ.
