Religion
LXIX
From The Poetical Works of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Volume 2
Religion
I was mad, inspired--say either! (anguish worketh inspiration)
Was a man or beast--perhaps so, for the tiger roars when speared;
And I walked on, step by step along the level of my passion--
Oh my soul! and passed the doorway to her face, and never feared.
