The friend of every country but his own.”

dom of daylight’s dauphin, dapple-dawn-drawn Falcon, in his riding
Of the rolling level underneath him steady air, and striding
High there, how he rung upon the rein of a wimpling wing
In his ecstasy!”

I heard wind flaking sapphire, like this summer,
And willows could not hold more steady sound.”
