Rather on earth, Beloved,-where the unfit
Contrarious moods of men recoil away
And isolate pure spirits, and permit
A place to stand and love in for a day,
With darkness and the death-hour rounding it.
(Sonnet 22 - When Our Two Souls Stand Up Erect And Strong)

Into the music of Heaven's undefiled,
Call me no longer.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning

My footstep from the moss which drew
Its fairy circle round: anew
The garden is deserted.
