A man who does not move with pain, but moves
With thought--He is insensibly subdued
To settled quiet: he is one by whom
All effort seems forgotten, one to whom
Long

has such mild composure given,
That patience now doth seem a thing, of which
He hath no need.

They must not give Valerius
To raven and to kite;
For aye
Valerius
loathed the wrong,
And aye upheld the right:
And for your wives and babies
In the front rank he fell.

It was not long I lived there,
But I became a woman
Under those vehement stars,
For it was there I heard
For the first time my spirit
Forging an iron rule for me,
As though with slow cold hammers
Beating out word by word:
"Take love when love is given,
But never think to find it
A sure escape from sorrow
Or a
complete
repose;
Only yourself can heal you,
Only yourself can lead you
Up the hard road to heaven
That ends where no one knows.

We rush, a black throng,
Straight
upon darkness:
Motes scattered
By the arc's rays.

Straightway I was 'ware,
So weeping, how a mystic Shape did move
Behind me, and drew me
backward
by the hair;
And a voice said in mastery, while I strove,--
"Guess now who holds thee!

Aeschylus |

But there is a road from
Winchester
town,
A good, broad highway leading down;
And there, through the flush of the morning light,
A steed as black as the steeds of night,
Was seen to pass, as with eagle flight,
As if he knew the terrible need;
He stretched away with his utmost speed;
Hills rose and fell; but his heart was gay,
With Sheridan fifteen miles away.

To Argos--and my coming no man yet
Knoweth--to pay the bloody twain their debt
Of blood.
