Above all the kingdoms of the Earth,
Above our Flags, extends one only Azure,
One only Ether, one only ever pure Space,
And this blue sky, which expands without frontiers,
Is Ideal Art, — light, azure and gay, —
Art, the common land of freed minds,
Where Love speaks best in sacred rhythms,
Where the greatest are those whom Justice inspires,
Where
Molière smiles — in glory — to Shakspeare !
