Exaggeration

== We overstate the ills of life, and take Imagination (given us to bring down  The choirs of singing angels overshone  By God's clear glory) down our earth to rake  The dismal snows instead, flake following flake,  To cover all the corn; we walk upon  The shadow of hills across a level thrown,  And pant like climbers: near the alder brake  We sigh so loud, the nightingale within  Refuses to sing loud, as else she would. O brothers, let us leave the shame and sin Of taking vainly, in a plaintive mood,  The holy name of GRIEF !--holy herein  That by the grief of ONE came all our good. ==
