Nature
LXI
From The Poetical Works of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Volume 2
Nature
High straight forehead, nose of eagle, cold blue eyes of less
expression
Than resistance, coldly casting off the looks of other men,
As steel, arrows; unelastic lips which seem to taste possession
And be cautious lest the common air should injure or distrain.
