“I know no personal cause to spurn at him,
But for the general: he would be crowned.
How that might change his nature, there’s the question.”

Either, but when I try to imagine a faultless love
Or the life to come, what I hear is the murmur
Of underground streams, what I see is a limestone landscape.”
