As sunset that strange vision, severeth
Our memory from itself, and us from all
We sought and yet were baffled.

A wolf for the meek lambs--if you can't swim

Of man flies far in dread; his work and dwelling
Vanish, like smoke before the tempest's stream,
And their place is not known.

Of delightful sound,
Better than all treasures
That in books are found,
Thy skill to poet were, thou scorner of the ground!
