FRAGMENT FROM THE WANDERING JEW
The Elements respect their Maker's seal!Still like the scathèd pine tree's height,
Braving the tempests of the night
980
Like the scathed pine, which a monument stands
Of faded grandeur, which the brands
Of the tempest-shaken air
Have riven on the desolate heath;
Yet it stands majestic even in death,
And rears its wild form there.
