Beneath his feet shot thro' him as he stood in the Human Brain
And all its golden porches grew pale with his sickening light

Pale he beheld futurity; pale he beheld the Abyss

All rav'ning like the hungry worm, & like the silent grave

Corneille - Le Cid |

Where'er the radiance of thy coming fall,
Shall dawn for thee her saffron footcloths spread,
Sunset her purple canopies and red,
In serried splendour, and the night unfold
Her velvet
darkness
wrought with starry gold
For kingly raiment, soft as cygnet-down.

Lear - Nonsense |

Till, as much time is fled,
Once more the vacant airs with
darkness
fill,
Once more the wave doth never good nor ill,
And Blank is king, and Nothing works his will;
And leanly sails the day behind the day
To where the Past's lone Rock o'erglooms the spray,
And down its mortal fissures sinks away,
As when the grim-beaked pelicans level file
Across the sunset to their seaward isle
On solemn wings that wave but seldomwhile.
