Love
Will Mortals Never Know Each Other's Station
From Works and Life, ed. Forster, vol. VIII (1876)
Love
Will mortals never know each other's station
Without the herald? O abomination!
Milton, even Milton, rankt with living men!
Over the highest Alps of mind he marches,
And far below him spring the baseless arches
Of Iris, colouring dimly lake and fen.
