Página 180 - But first, a hush of peace — a soundless calm descends; The struggle of distress and fierce impatience ends. Mute music soothes my breast — unutter'd harmony That I could never dream, till Earth was lost to me.

Página 164 - LIFT not the painted veil which those who live Call Life : though unreal shapes be pictured there, And it but mimic all we would believe With colours idly spread, — behind, lurk Fear And Hope, twin destinies ; who ever weave Their shadows, o'er the chasm, sightless and drear. I knew one who had lifted it — he sought, For his lost heart was tender, things to love, But found them not, alas ! nor was there aught The world contains, the which he could approve.
Página 180 - Hence in a season of calm weather Though inland far we be, Our Souls have sight of that immortal sea Which brought us hither, Can in a moment travel thither, And see the Children sport upon the shore, And hear the mighty waters rolling evermore.
Página 140 - Calderon's Magico Prodigioso — I am translating some passages in it.' " ' Oh, read it to us.'
