Dear eyes are shadowed that I knew, And lips are silent that confessed With burden of bright words to me Out of their woe, their ecstasy;

Pale he beheld futurity; pale he beheld the Abyss

And I saw it was filled with graves,
And
tombstones
where flowers should be;
And priests in black gowns were walking their rounds,
And binding with briars my joys and desires.

Thro' many a wild romantic grove,[25]
Near many a hermit-fancy'd cove,
(Fit haunts for friendship or for love,)
In musing mood,
An aged judge, I saw him rove,
Dispensing
good.

Les Amours de Cassandre: XCIV
Whether her golden hair curls languidly,
Or whether it swims by, in two flowing waves
That over her breasts wander there, and stray,
And across her neck float playfully:
Whether a knot,
ornamented
richly,
With many a ruby, many a rounded pearl,
Ties the stream of her rippling curls,
My heart delights itself, contentedly.

In his
other novels, in 'Pendennis,' in 'Philip,' in 'Vanity Fair' even, at

mocking at them.
