"A solemn thing – it was – I said – A Woman – white – to be – And wear – if God should count me fit – Her last – Eternity –"

"I dwell in Possibility – A fairer House than Prose – More numerous of Windows – Superior – for Doors –"

"The only Port I ever knew Is that which leads to Thee – The only Land I ever saw Is in Thy Memory –"

"The Heart asks Pleasure – first – And then – Excuse from Pain – And then – those little Anodynes That deaden suffering –"

"The Sea said 'Come' to the Brook – The Brook said 'No' to the Sea –"
