Us, then, whose only pain can be to part, How wilt Thou punish ? For what ecstasy Together to be blown about the globe ! What rapture in perpetual fire to burn Together ! — where we are is endless fire. There centuries shall in a moment pass, And all the cycles in one hour elapse !

61. oldal - I cannot go; thrilling from Rimini, A tender voice makes all the trumpets mute. I cannot go from her: may not return. O God! what is Thy will upon me? Ah! One path there is, a straight path to the dark. There, in the ground, I can betray no more, And there for ever am I pure and cold. The means!

24. oldal - O those children, mine ! Mine, doubly mine : and yet I cannot touch them, I cannot see them, hear them — Does great God Expect I shall clasp air and kiss the wind For ever?
23. oldal - And for that reason tremble at her more ! Old friend, remember that we two are passed Into the grey of life : but O, beware This child scarce yet awake upon the world ! Dread her first ecstasy, if one should come That should appear to her half-opened eyes Wonderful as a prince from fairyland Or venturing through forests toward her face — No — do not stride about the room — your limp Is evident the more — come, sit by me As you were wont to sit. Youth goes toward youth.
