Pagina 290 - I do bear This punishment for both — that thou wilt be One of the blessed — and that I shall die ; For hitherto all hateful things conspire To bind me in existence — in a life Which makes me shrink from immortality — A future like the past.
Pagina 506 - Alas! — how light a cause may move Dissension between hearts that love !
