Love was given, Encouraged, sanctioned chiefly for that end; For this the passion to excess was driven, That self might l>e annulled: her bondage prove The fetters of a dream, opposed to love."* Such is the affinity between the souls of great poets, though centuries are between them.
Stran 231 - It's wiser being good than bad; It's safer being meek than fierce: It's fitter being sane than mad. My own hope is, a sun will pierce The thickest cloud earth ever stretched; That, after Last, returns the First, 60 Though a wide compass round be fetched; That what began best, can't end worst, Nor what God blessed once, prove accurst.

Save that her eye grew darker, and her brow Brighter with thought, as with galactic light Mid Heaven when clearest, at such times, not I Had known that earth were dearer unto her Than other of the visitants divine...
Stran 123 - THE swallow has set her six young on the rail, And looks seaward : The water's in stripes, like a snake, olive-pale To the leeward, — On the weather-side, black, spotted white with the wind. " Good fortune departs, and disaster's behind," — Hark, the wind with its wants and its infinite wail ! II.
Stran 285 - Now welcome Summer with thy sunne soft, That hast this winter's weathers overshake. Well have they cause for to gladden oft, Since each of them recovered hath his make. Full blissful may they singe when they wake: Now welcome Summer with thy sunne soft, That hast this winter's weather's overshake, And driven away the longe nightes black!
Stran 180 - Robert, put both her hands on his shoulders, and looked him full in the face. "Who arc you?
