His speech is a burning fire ; With his lips he travaileth ; In his heart is a blind desire, In his eyes foreknowledge of death ; He weaves, and is clothed with derision ; Sows, and he shall not reap ; His life is a watch or a vision Between a sleep and a sleep.
Pagina 17 - Now hath my life across a stormy sea like a frail bark reached that wide port where all are bidden, ere the final reckoning fall of good and evil for eternity. Now...
