There is no more ideal For me ; romance hath shot its bolt ; The badger Jesus skulketh in his holt, Whence let no dog dare draw him ; let him skulk ! All is an empty broken hulk Floating on waters of derision, Save for the sole true vision, Angela, sta…

I heard my sisters crying No tale like this—O! were I only lying Asleep amid the ferns, my soul would weep Over and over in its endless sleep; ‘Yes, love!” and “yes!” and “yes!” So by some spell divinely drawn She came to me across the dawn, With open arms to me; and sobbed “Yes, love!” and “ Yes, love!” O how throbbed The giant glory at my heart!

Your knowledge is enormously above the average. You reason clearly an…
