(Nature and art must help each other.) One day the flint called the firesteel Cruel, For often it struck him To draw sparks from his heart. As the two were quarreling, 5 And about to part, “God be with you,” said the flint. “What are you worth without me?” And the steel replied, “Why, Just what you are worth without me.” 10 Let every writer ponder This simple example Who fails to join long study With natural talent. For the flint gives no light 15 Without the firesteel’s aid, Nor can native gifts Shine bright without art. If each works apart, Both are of no use. 20
