Broke through the careful silence; for they heard
A rustling noise of leaves, and out there flutter'd

Like a small pistol when he snapped it shut
At such a time as this.

They jibe at a

The tyrants forget how fresh is the pall
Over their dead and ours.

The place where a great city stands is not the place of stretch'd
wharves, docks, manufactures, deposits of produce merely,
Nor the place of
ceaseless
salutes of new-comers or the
anchor-lifters of the departing,
Nor the place of the tallest and costliest buildings or shops
selling goods from the rest of the earth,
Nor the place of the best libraries and schools, nor the place where
money is plentiest,
Nor the place of the most numerous population.

For all the stars, like burning dew,
Are luminous and luring footprints
Of souls

Coleridge - Poems |

And thought's entangled skein being wound,
He knew the
moorland
of his swound,
And the pale pools that smeared the ground;
The far wood-pines like offing ships;
The fourth pool's yew anear him drips,
_World's cruelty_ attaints his lips,
And still he tastes it, bitter still;
Through all that glorious possible
He had the sight of present ill.

now I chase,
The first foe in the field;
And with a stronger faith embrace
A sword, a horse, a shield.
