History & Politics
XXVII
From The Poetical Works of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Volume 4
History & Politics
These shall remain. And when, in the session
Of nations, the separate language is heard,
Each shall aspire, in sublime indiscretion,
To help with a thought or exalt with a word
Less her own than her rival's honour.
