Most mournfully away in an old chest
Of hers, and put some chopped-up cedar boughs
In with them, and tore down the slaughterhouse.”

Are less than are the downward years,
Drawn slowly to the foamless weirs
Of age, were she to lose him.”

Go to the western gate, Luke Havergal
Luke Havergal.”

Shining and still, but not for long to stay
As if a thousand girls with golden hair
Might rise from where they slept and go away.”

A world without a meaning, and had room,
Alone amid magnificence and doom,
To build himself an airy monument”
