[XXIV. The difference between despair]
The difference between despair
And fear, is like the one
Between the instant of a wreck,
And when the wreck has been.
And fear, is like the one
Between the instant of a wreck,
And when the wreck has been.
The mind is smooth,—no motion—
Contented as the eye
Upon the forehead of a Bust,
That knows it cannot see.
Contented as the eye
Upon the forehead of a Bust,
That knows it cannot see.
