“Like a wild stranger out of wizard-land
He dwelt a little with us, and withdrew;
Black and unblossomed were the ways he knew,
Dark was the glass through which his fire eye shined.”

The wrath of it your only fear.

To make you see, but your are blind;
You cannot leave it long enough
To look before you or behind.”

From those who never will return,
Until a flash of unforeseen
Remembrance falls on what has been.”

‘Good-morning,’ and he glittered when he walked.”

The house is shut and still,
There is nothing more to say.”
