She parried Time’s malicious dart,

Till passion entered in her heart
And aged her in a day!”

or a darkness invisible enfolded in the deeper dark
of the arms Plutonic, and pierced with the passion of dense gloom,
among the splendor of torches of darkness, shedding darkness on the
lost bride and her groom.”
