“Their martyred blood and ashes sow
O’er all the Italian fields where still doth sway
The triple tyrant; that from these may grow
A hundredfold, who, having learnt thy way,
Early may fly the Babylonian woe.”

who sit in the lounge of the mental house
and smile at the smiling woman
who passes us each a bell,”
