...wer still,
Count D'Orsay,--so you did what you preferred,
Spoke as you thought, and, as you cannot help,
Believed or disbelieved, no matter what,
So long as on that point, whate'er it was,
You loosed your mind, were whole and sole yourself.
--That, my ideal never can include,
Upon that element of truth and worth
Never be based! for say they make me Pope--
(They can't--suppose it for our argument!)
Why, there I'm at my tether's end, I've reached
My height, and n...Read more of this...

His heart who has not heart to disbelieve.XXXII

Our great twin-spirited brethren; you that stand
Head by head glittering, hand made fast in hand,
And underfoot the fang-drawn worm that strove

Mean-while, ye living Parents, ease your Grief
By Tears, allow'd as Nature's due Relief.

That entire death shall null my entire thought;
And I feel torture, not that I believe thee,
But that I cannot disbelieve thee not.

Or with its stuffed garb forge an otherworld

And waterfalls inside a park,
And two dragonflies
On rusty iron of a bulwark.

That he'll befriend me all alone
When on the mountain slopes I went
Along hot pathway made of stone.

Every evening I receive
A letter like a bride
To my friend I give
Response late at night.
"I'll be guest of the white death
On my journey down.
You, my tender one, don't do
