“So much of motion, is so much of life, and so much of joy—and ... to stand still, or get on but slowly, is death and the devil.”

Stands a child with her father,
Watching the east, the autumn sky.
Up through the darkness,
While ravening clouds, the burial clouds, in black masses spreading,
Lower sullen and fast athwart and down the sky,”
