And wails for rage of unattained desire. They that are struggling in the lower mire, For all their sorrowing, never know the groans, The Mutius-agony, the dread monotones Of Golgotha, that whoso would aspire Must shudder with throughout earth's period. Crowned Poet! read God's message through the storm; "Yea, there shall pierce thine own heart, too, a sword; For Art, like Mary, handmaid of the Lord, Tears out of her own quivering flesh the form To clothe the unseen and living Word of God.
WASHINGTON, 1888.
