The Builders · 1849
Nothing useless is, or low; Each thing in its place is best; And what seems but idle show Strengthens and supports the rest.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The poem says nothing is truly worthless or lowly, and each thing is best in its own place. Even what looks like idle decoration quietly strengthens and supports everything else. It is a reflection on how small or overlooked parts contribute to a larger whole.
