To drive the shadows back;
Prolong the talk on this or that excuse....”

The melancholy waters lie.
So blend the turrets and shadows there
That all seem pendulous in air,
While from a proud tower in the town
Death looks gigantically down.”

That did never choose amiss.
Some there be that shadows kiss,
Such have but a shadow’s bliss.”
