“And here the precious dust is layd;
Whose purely temperd Clay was made
So fine, that it the guest betrayd.
Else the soule grew so fast within,
It broke the outward shell of sinne,
And so was hatchd a Cherubin.”

“Yet the day wears,
And door succeeds door;
I try the fresh fortune
Range the wide house from the wing to the centre,
Still the same chance! she goes out as I enter.
Spend my whole day in the quest,who cares?”
—Robert Browning (18121889)
