Hi Luxoran.

I read it three times looking for something to criticize. Interestingly I like the 4th stanza because it's thought provoking. I can make it mean different things, it seems.
I like the last 2 lines of the 1st stanza. Descriptive, succinct and concise.

Well, you know the saying "I'm no critic, but I know what I like"...heh heh..

A perfect judge will read each word of wit
With the same spirit that its author writ:
Survey the whole, nor seek slight faults to find
Where Nature moves, and rapture warms the mind . . .
Whoever thinks a faultless piece to see,
Thinks what ne'er was, nor is, nor e'er shall be.
In every work regard the writer's end,
Since none can compass more than they intend . . .
