Equally paradoxical is the power of print to install the
reader in a subjective universe of limitless freedom and
spontaneity:
My mind to me a Kingdom is;
Such perfect joy therein I find
That it excels all other bliss
Which God or Nature hath assigned.
But by the same token print induces the reader to order his
external life and actions with visual propriety and rigor, until
the appearance of virtue and stability usurp all inner motive
and
Shades of the prison-house begin to close
Upon the growing Boy.
