Religion
LIII
From The Poetical Works of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Volume 2
Religion
"If we trod the deeps of ocean, if we struck the stars in rising,
If we wrapped the globe intensely with one hot electric breath,
'T were but power within our tether, no new spirit-power comprising,
And in life we were not greater men, nor bolder men in death."
