Made him appear, long since from earth exiled.”

That you were beautiful, and that I strove
To love you in the old high way of love;
That it had all seemed happy, and yet we’d grown
As weary-hearted as that hollow moon.”

Within her hollow rind
What sleek facility
Of sea-conceited scop
To plumb the nether mind!”
