Waiting upside down, she keenly admires herself,

Raising the black flesh split beneath its mane,
Advances the palate of that alien mouth
Pale, rosy as a shell from the Spanish Main.

Having a glass of blessings standing by;

"
Thus ending loudly, as he would o'erleap
His destiny, alert he stood: but when
Obstinate
silence came heavily again,
Feeling about for its old couch of space
And airy cradle, lowly bow'd his face
Desponding, o'er the marble floor's cold thrill.

let there be
No further strife nor enmity
Between us twain; we both have erred
Too rash in act, too wroth in word,
From the
beginning
have we stood
In fierce, defiant attitude,
Each thoughtless of the other's right,
And each reliant on his might.
