It was not anger : while thy earthly dress Encompassed still thy soul's rare loveliness, All anger was atoned by many a kind Caress or tear that spoke the softened mind. It speaks of cold neglect, averted eyes, That blindly crushed thy soul's fond sacrifice.
Seite 38 - Literary labours, the improvement of my mind, and the enlargement of my ideas, are the only occupations that elevate me from my lethargy; all events seem to lead me to that one point, and the courses of destiny having dragged me to that single resting-place, have left me. Father, mother, friend, husband, children — all made, as it were, the team that conducted me here; and now all, except you, my poor boy (and you are necessary to the continuance of my life), all are gone, and I am left to fulfil...

Seite 74 - ON KEATS, WHO DESIRED THAT ON HIS TOMB SHOULD BE INSCRIBED — " HERE lieth One whose name was writ on water." But, ere the breath that could erase it blew, Death, in remorse for that fell slaughter, Death, the immortalizing winter, flew Athwart the stream : — time's printless torrent grew A scroll of crystal, blazoning the name Of Adonais.
