“It was the owl that shrieked, the fatal bellman,
Which gives the stern’st good night.”

““... Or how should love be worth its pains were it not
That when he has fallen asleep within my arms,
Being wearied out, I love in man the child?

She builds her nest upon a narrow ledge
Above a windy precipice?””
