Religion
LXXV
From The Poetical Works of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Volume 2
Religion
"Learn more reverence, madam, not for rank or wealth--that needs no
learning:
That comes quickly, quick as sin does, ay, and culminates to sin;
But for Adam's seed, MAN! Trust me, 't is a clay above your scorning,
With God's image stamped upon it, and God's kindling breath within.
